Gay Knitting Era

The era an aging gay man enters after being a barfly for a decade and swearing they will always be the life of a party. Hangovers start to hit harder, the single gay man takes up hobbies such as knitting or collecting teapots. Gets excited about watching the news and other things he always called boring.

"I'm in my Gay Knitting Era, I never thought I would be that boring gay but here I am. I can't handle nights out anymore would rather watch the news"

Knit a sweater phase

When sex is not a high priority and the idea of doing anything but the act is more interesting. This is a multi-use phrase. Having children definately brings on knit a sweater. Dating a prude or someone with no vision absolutely qualifies under knit a sweater. When men use this term it is crucial to understand that someone needs to put them out of their misery immediately. All fabulous people.. honey, knit away.

I think my best friend is going through the knit a sweater phase, because she was mad at me wanting to look sexy for my new boyfriend. The sweatsuit and frizzy hair were also tell-tale signs that I should have shut up talking, but I didn't, and she bit my head off.
