Let me introduce you to the zombie sisters of Menopausistan, Stabby McBloodypunkin and Mrs. Moody Monsterstein. They are avatars of their menopausal mommas, Velma & Eileen, who live in a state of perpetual freak-out, a land of extremes in climate (aka hot flashes), a zone of fluctuation between uncontrollable weeping and temper tantrums. Don’t fuck with these women, they’ll put your eyes out with their pointy sticks, the knitting needles with which, along with barbed tongues, they arm themselves.

Made one for me & one for my BFF to combat the SUCK that is menopause.

Knit using my maternal grandmother’s straight needles to summon some positive chick energy from beyond the grave, using yarn spun by my lovely & formidable friend Reenie Hanlin of Material Whirled. Thanks for the perfect yarn for this project, girlfriend!
