Buttonhole Bagging, Pizza Making and Slippery Jacking

Knitty, Vintage and Rosy said...: Here is a recipe I found on the web. My mother has our recipe and she's not home. This one is very close to the one we use, although we add red peppers and an onion. Apparently the one we used (which was from Barb, the knitter that got me the little knitting decoration, remember her?)is about 50 or so years old. Love it.

Happy Slippery Jacking!
