Sweater Club


by Kerri Hartman

 

On February 25th I will turn 42. The age my father was when he died.

I am in the thick of crazy middle age women syndrome, but I think I’ve found a cure.

Sweater Club.

The first rule of Sweater Club? No 3/4 sleeves.

It was going to be: Work on a sweater that makes you feel like a super hero but Frannie said, “No 3/4 sleeves!”

Rule #2 We listen to Frannie in sweater club.

We will present our sweaters at our local pin bar in Port Townsend Washington. Find it.

6:00pm February 25th.

PS

If you know sweater club is where you belong and can’t afford a sweater’s worth of yarn, talk to us about earning yarn for knitting samples.

If you’re a new knitter and can only manage a scarf by then, come pay your respects and we’ll host another ball when your sweater is ready.

Update : January 23, 2013

Frannie’s still in charge, but the original rule is being reinstated. Work on a sweater that makes you feel like a superhero.  If you do not live in Port Townsend, find a bar or diner small enough for your local sweater club chapter to create a clear majority. It’s important to achieve a “We own this *#@%$^  town!” ambiance.  Superhero/Gangsta. Sweater clad Superhero/Gangsta. Get it?

Absolutely no flavored vodkas.

I’ve already finished my sweater. I’m going to try to finish another before my birthday. I will be the Mister Rogers of the knitting world. Every time you see me I will have on a new cardigan, you will find this soothing.  Just you wait.
