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.
