I think it really depends on Francine's schooling. I don't know about the USA but here in Germany, we had "Handarbeit" for the first two years of high school (5th and 6th grade as far as I remember) which was kinda mandatory for girls. Unless you wanted to join the boys for sports. (We actually had one boy who opted for "Handarbeit" and one girl who preferred sports ...) "Handarbeit" included teaching us the basics of such things as knitting, sewing, etc. We hat do knit a pullover (my Mum did a big part of it, as everyone else's Mum, but that's where I learned it) and sew an apron and a track suit. Later, you could also opt for "Hauswirtschaft" where we learned the basics of cooking.
Now, we don't know what kind of school Francine went to but depending on that it might actually be more of a case of recalling what she learned there and Amanda helping her to improve at it. Wouldn't it be nice to see those two exchange the latest knitting patterns and fashions? XD I can see that - and Billy grinning at them broadly and dropping a remark how Francine's suddenly going all housewife - and her informing him pointedly how many ways there are to kill someone with a knitting needle (I once had my friend who used to be a paramedic explain it to me - there's quite a few ...) and Billy slowly backing off ... XD

lol! Yeah, a craft that involves pointy and potentially deadly tools would probably appeal to Francine. When I took home economics in school, they didn't teach knitting, just some basic sewing and cooking (and the proper way to set a table with full dinner service, which I've never had a real reason to use and only vaguely remember), but I only took the beginning course, not the more advanced one.

morley was asking if we ever see Francine in a formal gown: I've found MS in a formal gown in "Dead Ringer", but she is Magda at the time. Very glam (and curvaceous) Unfortunately I also found this unfortunate outfit, hairstyle (NOOOOOOO!!!) and jewellery

iwsod has - kindly (??) dug up this image of "Tribal Martha". (Yes, that is how it is labelled!) Scary stuff from MS! I offer this alternate image to "clear the palate" (or rather the retina!!) hilarious!!!
Sorry guys.. as soon as I entered this thread I saw reference to up coming episodes I'm trying to avoid thinking or reading about.. soo I'll have to skip on this conversation - for now! but..
very kind of you to offer such a small version of the Tribal Martha Image Learjet(I gave the image that name btw - I found it on ebay - yep.. this photo is actually for sale on ebay.. I can see it now.. Amanda secretly purchasing it.. and using it for dart practice.. oh wait.. is Amanda real? Is Francine real? or is Tribal Martha real? Aie! My head hurts..
anyway.. I'm not as kind as learjet! Scary stuff!! haaaaa..
But I must say, in an age of computer altered everything - I kind a like that Martha has real skin with actual folds when you leave over like that.. no air brushing or photoshop here!!!
(and she still IMHO looks amazing.. )
Okay okay..
Here's another cleansing image..
Okay okay.. maybe that's not cleansing.. as much as .. just very satisfying.. Bless her heart that tribal look is awful! Umm.. smile!
Here: this one is soooo powerful.. I better keep it small..

No way Amanda would buy that Tribal Martha pic for dart practice! She'd use it as blackmail material so she'd want it undamaged ...

She probably comes across as taller than she is due to her personality ...
