Notes on doing it yrself

I started a knitting club. Last night, a bunch of us ladies got togedder to stitch n bitch. (Boys were allowed but none came.) It was soothing. Those who know me know that I’m not an organizer of things. And I think maybe I hate knitting. But guys, I did it… I decided to rise above that idea that my club might not work. I wanted a knitting club with 20-30 yr olds with similiar interests, so I FUCKING DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT. So anyway. Reminds me of someone else who fucking went for it. I like her. She’s hosted the Meow Mixes in the past and is well known in the lesbian/queer Montreal scene. She also made an igloo out of speakers.
