What happens when a knitter turns 40?
Well, if she is fortunate, she doesn’t have to work and gets to putter all day.
First, she opens a gift from Super Sis…
Then, she takes the car in for an oil change, where the attendant does his best to rip her off.
Naughty, naughty. Don’t people know that birthday girls are not supposed to get cheated on their special day?
After putting him in his place, the knitter might decide to go shopping at a yarn store 45 minutes away. She has the day off, after all, and the kids are old enough to get themselves home from school.
Because it’s her birthday, the Mr. might tell her to buy something “on him.” She asks if she has a limit, and he says not to spend $1,000 on yarn.
So, she sticks to the budget (using a 20% coupon she got in the mail, of course) and gets the following…
Malabrigo Sock Yarn
And this…
Misti Alpaca Lace
After four years of knitting, the birthday girl might get lucky enough to finally have her punch card completely punched out, so she earns a $20 gift certificate on the spot.
Because this yarn store is so far away, she decides to go ahead and spend it, so she selects the following…
Cascade Heritage Handpainted Sock Yarn
Totally satisfied, the 40 year-old knitter might then drive home, to find the following in the mail from her friend, Susan…
Socks That Rock Sock Yarn
Yep. Turning 40 isn’t all that bad, if you’re a knitter, that is!
