You know you love your knitting

By ScoutJ | Posted in Call out, Knitting, Stitch 'n' Bitch |

when you don’t think twice about Stitch ‘n’ Bitch falling on Valentine’s Day and you choose knitting with your girlfriends over hanging with your Valentine. Last week someone announced that it was Valentine’s this week and wondered if we’d meet. Pretty much everyone in unison said, “Uhh I’ll be here!” I mean, if T. and I barely celebrate birthdays we sure as hell don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day. It’s not that I don’t love my T. It’s just, well, you know, after 15 years it’s just not a big deal.

Stitch ‘n’ Bitch is now the one thing I can count on every week to save my sanity. I know that Tuesday night I can get the hell away from my kids, and any other responsibilty I may have and I can sit on my arse, drink a beer, chill with my friends and knit. Although, I rarely get any knitting done because I’m mostly talking with everyone. But who cares right? I leave there really happy and that’s all that matters.

If any of you wish you had a group and you don’t? Start one. That’s all I did. Over a year ago I just decided to start my own group and look what it’s become. There were 28 of us there last week. We pretty much took up the whole Flying Star restaraunt.

So a shout out to all my SnB chicas. Thanks for making me so happy on a weekly basis. Love y’all!

    It’s great that you have a group you’re happy with. And congrats on starting the whole thing. More people should do that!

    My group meets once a month and we actually decided to postpone for a week. Of course I’m not doing a damn thing for Valentine’s so I’m not sure why we postponed!

    Ok seriously you must stop making me tear up. I’m starting to think I’ve got a hormonal imbalance or something.
