stitch and bitch
Knitting with chatter
A stitch and bitch is an informal gathering where people—traditionally women—work on knitting, crocheting, or other needlecraft while socializing.
The name captures the dual purpose: handwork and conversation, often including gossip or venting.
I'm heading to stitch and bitch at Sarah's place tonight.
The phrase reclaims "bitch" as casual female bonding rather than complaint.
