I used to work at his school and am a friend of his mother and can only say, "Watch out, girls!" When this guy gets a car (and is legally able to drive it!!), he will cutting a path through crowds of girls. <BR/><BR/>I think that perhaps young women are just a wee bit intimidated about a cool craft that they might not share. My husband used to take me out on dates that ended with me helping him bleed the brakes on his Triumph TR7. When I first met him, I just envisioned getting to drive the car, not maintaining it! We are never getting rid of that car!Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17650810685784200834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29674735.post-1169420592342931322007-01-21T15:03:00.000-08:002007-01-21T15:03:00.000-08:00Yeah, such is the day in the life of a guy knitter...Yeah, such is the day in the life of a guy knitter. I get weird looks all the time, and totally empthasize with the "don't let the kids go over there" scenario. That's happened to me a few times. Oh well, at least sometimes it seems to scare people away from me rather than bring them over to touch my knitting and go, "oh, what are you knitting?"<BR/><BR/>And why is it that the cute girls in our age bracket don't think knitting is HOT? I mean, come on, it's super hot!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29674735.post-1169416354023405512007-01-21T13:52:00.000-08:002007-01-21T13:52:00.000-08:00Here in Australia, I have known guys who do cross ...Here in Australia, I have known guys who do cross stiching, tapestry or knitting because it relaxes them and they can unwind. If people don't like it, that's their problem. Usually I'd say it's pure envy on their part that you can do something so well and they can't and that you dare to do it in public. No shame in that. Keep up the good works. You will always draw attention to yourself though...you're just too damned cute. Us "older women" have lots we could teach you! And yes, we also have cute daughters too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29674735.post-1169397514226011012007-01-21T08:38:00.001-08:002007-01-21T08:38:00.001-08:00Hey Michael...found you through Lisa S...:)So glad...Hey Michael...found you through Lisa S...:)<BR/><BR/>So glad I did!...It is great to see guys making {knitting}, and blogging about it too! I am a jeweller so know well the 'problems' that surround guys doing a craft not normally assosiated with their gender....{from the guys in my class at art school, and their struggle with it etc..}....<BR/><BR/>Keep going, don't ever stop! And believe me, girls [with whom you have things in common] will not be put off by it at all - straight, available guys who are designers/makers/crafters are the proverbial holy grail!! So I'm sure you won't have to wait long to find someone who thinks the same way....;)Abigail A.
