Am sitting in my car waiting for lights to turn etc, am parallel to a bus terminal with the usual patrons sitting on the bench. A thing caught my eye and it was a beautiful white crotchet blanket across the knee of a bald headed guy in a T shirt and shorts. He bends down to his rucksack and produces a crotchet hook and proceeds to crotchet away.

First and last time I will ever see that. Never judge a book by its cover cos he looked like a hard man.

Awww! That's lovely.
Apparently King George VI used to knit to pass the time away.
Probably has a good left hook.
Tom Daley knits and crochets - but he's gay, so you'd expect him to knit and crochet...is that right?
It wasn't nailit was it ?
Dom from The Repair Shop knits and crochets - it is quite the thing with hipster guys
Lol @shirley.

Using a bent nail? :))
Being creative is as natural to men as it is to women, real men do knit and crochet and have done for a long long time.

Some of the best designers of knitwear are men.

I have knitted the odd (very odd) scarf while my children were learning to knit :)
Togo - he could have been .. lol
Lots of men crochet and knit, JJ. Some of the work they produce is just beautiful....x

My best mate at school took up knitting when he was about 15; the last person on earth you'd expect to do that. Not just simple stuff, Aran etc and was absolutely brilliant at it.
jenny, I'm seriously shocked that you were tapping out this post while sitting in your car at the traffic lights.
I hope you typed this up later, when you got home.

referring to an earlier post - I'm just on in my computer room for now.

Anyhoo - referring to Aran knitting - I watched the niece of my very beloved stand-in/mother knitting Aran with one arm. She fell into a fire in a lowly house and burnt her arm off. She was unbelievable in holding 3 knitting needles. She held one of the needles under her arm/shoulder. Incredible to watch.
Yes, a lot of men knit. I used to make tapestries and have got one framed in my bedroom.
I remember when we returned from holiday wondering if my wife was pregnant.

We drove to the local testing place, and our car died on the way.

A car pulled up, and four seriously salty looking guys got out and advanced towards us, looking really menacing.

They could not have been more helpful - they pushed our car to a safe place, jump started it, and when they found out where we were going, they wished us every good wish for the future.

As you say, never judge a book ...

Actually, I experience that regularly when i attend extreme metal gigs as a music writer.

I look like a retired bank manager, I have a Number One, glasses, and I'm sixty-six - I look like someone's grandad who has turned up early to pick up his grandson and friends.

But the chances are, I have been discussing the finer points of the genre backstage with the band before the show started, and will be joining them again after for a curry and a wind-down.
