Step 1
Choose food that leaves little mess. The last thing your guests want is to get salsa on their newly knitted masterpiece. Find finger foods that they can eat without getting crumbs all over themselves such as cheese trays, brownies, or chocolates.
-
Step 2
Make it simple. If you make your food too complicated or they require a lot of assembly, you run the risk of losing the focus with your party. If guests are pulled from their knitting for too long because they are trying to build their own salad or sandwiches, you will have less time for the knitting part of the party.

Step 3
Stick to the basics. Don't introduce new and strange party foods to your guests unless you want to spend some time explaining what you're feeding them and trying to convince them that they should try it. Serve familiar food, like cheese and crackers or pre-sliced fruit to avoid detracting from the occasion.

Step 4
Keep it balanced. When you're instructing people in something new, you don't want your guests falling asleep because you've only provided sugary items that, while tasty, don't provide the energy that foods higher in protein might give them. Add foods to the menu like deviled eggs or meats and cheeses, with items like candies or soft baked cookies on the side.

Step 5
Put bowls with snacks like nuts and smaller, less messy items around the knitting area, so your guests don't have to stop knitting to have a snack.
