Now, in my reading list, I have a book called “Casts off”. It is written by Stephanie(yes!) Pearl-McPhee, also known as the Yarn Harlot. She’s seriously interesting and entertaining, and when reading her book, I found out quite a few things that were rather out of the ordinary. These things also reminded me, time and again, about many things that I have done and would, most porbably do, in near future. *giggles*

Well… Anyway, I was reading the page 53 -of “Casts off”- which I had finished within a couple of rather enlighting moments, and I flipped the page and TA-DAH!!! I SAW WHAT EVERY MEN WHO THOUGHT KNITTING WAS SILLY AND FEMININE SHOULD GET INTO THEIR THICK SKULL.

WHY GUYS SHOULD KNIT!!!

(Hah!!! Take that, you boo-boos!!!)

These are the reasons:

1) Men who take up knitting will, MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, be surrounded by women.

So… If you are a bachelor who wants to get rid of your singlehood, pick up knitting. Join a knitting community like Ravelry to see whether there are any knitters in your area-this will get you started on knowing the people who knit in your area before meeting them. Afraid that you’ll be shy?-Don’t worry, we all go through that at least once.

2) Because people don’t see many men knitting.

Trust me, this is entirely true. I’ve only seen one man knit in a knitting shop before. But cuz I was a bloody coward, I left him alone. I really wanted to go talk to him. People find a man knitting something especially unique. Like… Seeing rice that is gold in colour or something. It’s strange to get that attention but not many will think that you to feminine and all. I would like to have my husband knit.

3) Samurai, the least feminine of men, knit.

At first, it was a cost-saving method, since it’s rather DIY. After that, it became a way to provide for themselves, since you sell what you knit. Believe me, no one thought that they were sissies or gays. In fact, I’m more than impressed!

4) We always talk about how men–

Would make better husbands, partners, and parent, if they had more focus, attention to detail, and patience. Knitting can help you with getting these skills.

5) Knitting is DEAD SEXY

Literally for BOTH gender, but I would really love men who knit.

Yeah, thats about it. I really love this writer!! She rocks!!!
