Am I really crazy for wanting to knit?
Actually i find it real cool i don't know any guy that knows or whats to know how to knit.
People say knitting if for old women that don't have anything else to do but that a LIE!
Have you taught yourself anything?
I taught my self how to draw >>
I though my self how tooo play the piano
I ALSO TAUGHT my self to well..do alot of other stuff xD
Do you knit?
Yes i do knit and i am knitting a scarf for my boyfriend.
<33
On a more random note...cookies?
I LOVE COOKIES <33

I'd say it's completly normal for a guy to knit. Why not? It's just a hobby for your spare time. My omi tried to teach me to knit. It wasn't a pretty piece when I was done with it. I'm not very good myself.

Some people would find it really strange. I on the other hand think it's cool. It's a useful skill (:


Cookies=yum. xD

You need certain needles? >> hah just shows I am a beginner, we all have to start somewhere.
I want to work on a black and green, or black and purple scarf, but I am working on an all black on for my fiancé. Have you finished anything yet? if so, you should take a picture and show it off! I'd like to see.

• It's more like you need a certain size of needles for different types of fabric. larger needles create bigger holes and therefore both use up less yarn and also make the thing work up bigger. But then again, it's not as tight of a pattern at that time. Really small needles are what you'd see for things like really intricate lace. So pretty much you can decide how large your standard stitches will be (as in, the ones you're normally using; does not count the ones you can create to be larger) and also the quality of the fabric. Quality meaning how stiff, loose, etc it will be. :3

I see. I am using worsted(sp, I think thats how it's spelt, but I could be wrong.) And I am using small needles, the scarf I am making has very tight stitching.

Hey knitting leads to hours of entertainment... I taught myself, and I don't see anything wrong with a guy wanting to do it.

I can only knit scarves thus far, I want to learn how to do hats, but that will have to wait for awhile. XD

What size are you using? It should say on the top of the needles. I try to stick to a 9us/5.5mm for scarves, but using a 10.5us/6.5mm works well too. I noticed if you use smaller needles for scarves they kinda of deform... That's probably because I do tight stitches too...

If you knew you I would probably make fun of you but I wouldn't mean it XD

It would all be in good fun.

You know, when I was younger I use to knit.
I made some awesome quilts and a door sign for my parents.

That was the old days, the fun days, now life grew up along with me.

I tried to knit >.>
I suck at it. XDDD

Yeah, actually the instructions call for circular needles. I don't remmeber what size I need, but it happens to be one that the local drug store doesn't carry at the moment though I could probably have them ordered.

I believe I am using 3.5mm >> I like the way the stitches are coming so I doubt I will change.

And I believe I have see some circular needles, I was kind of confused by them though..>>

Am I really crazy for wanting to knit? No.
Have you taught yourself anything? Yes. to make cool books.
Do you knit? No.
On a more random note...cookies? Yes.^_^ Cookies. I want one. D:

Gender bias for certain activities are stupid. I think it's cool that you taught yourself to knit. I want to learn to knit and crochet, I think it would be fun.

I would say it's a good thing for a guy to know how to sew. It means you don't have to depend on a girlfriend or mommy to fix your clothes when a button pops off or a pocket gets a tear.

Some people may find it weird,but I don't.
It's nice to see guys doing things that have supposedly been labeled as "Girls only".
So give yourself a round of applause!
It's nothing to be ashamed of.

I don't knit, but I think it'd be relaxing.

Am I really crazy for wanting to knit?
No, it's a free country....you can do whatever makes you happy. :]
Have you taught yourself anything?
I taught myself editing from Photoshop to Final Cut Pro.
Do you knit?
I do not...yet. AHA!
On a more random note...cookies?
Mmmm cookies.
But I'm on a diet. No cookies!

I think it's cool if a guy knows how to knit.

I myself tried to learn how to crochet but I sucked really bad. I don't have good enough coordination between my hands or something. 8)

wow, that's actually really awesome. I've been meaning to learn to knit for ages, but I've never got round to it. I used to knit when I was little, but I stopped, and I've forgotten how now.... :cry:

Yeah, you're definitely a crazy daisy.
Haha, just kidding. I wish I could knit. Will you teach me? :o

its okay my brother knits
i actually wanted to learn but its was extremly boring
and then my brother took it over
its kinda akward but its totally natural!C=

dont listen to the icon!XD

Would you fix that with sewing, not knitting? oO /off topic]

i don't see what's wrong with it~ i think it's cool that you know how. :]

Lots of people will probably find it odd, since a lot of people are sexist, and idiots in general. =D
But hey, whatever you enjoy, do it.
