Ideas for Knitting
Ok. So, the rest of the world thinks that knitting isn't very "manly" but I've been pondering it as a way to make gifts, be a little bit more frugal and something to pass the time. I was thinking of getting "Son of Stitch'n'Bitch" and perhaps making K a nice big sweater (she likes big, bulky stuff) for her birthday.
If you're "guy/butch" was to make you something knitted, what would you want? Sweater? Blanket? iPod cozy? |

Linus, if my guy were to make me ANYTHING...I would love it just for the fact that he crafted with his own hands with me in mind.

Hi Linus!! What a grand idea!
Well Nick's not my guy, but he crocheted me a hat which I ADORE--it's made from really soft bamboo yarn in a colorway called Rose Camo and looks kinda like an impressionist painting of the miniature wild roses you see at the beach, all shades of rose and green together--and then, THEN, he taught ME to knit! *big grin* I think if Gryph were to make me anything, I would probably want it to be smaller like the hat, maybe a scarf or something, because I like being able to wear the love but I think making a sweater might drive him crazy. *grin* |

Linus,
I had someone knit me a cigar holder. I am not kidding. It was fabulous. I used it until I wore it out, and the bottom fell apart. I took it everywhere with me, and used it like a cigar case. Another idea would be to make kleenex box holders. Maybe if you can learn to sew/knit in their initial or a symbol of something they enjoy (like a sailboat, a tennis racket, a lacross stick, a football, etc.). I think it is good to have a hobby to keep your mind active. There is nothing wrong with that. Andrew |

Little brother, if Rosie Grier can needlepoint, you can knit to your heart's content. I would be amazingly touched if someone took the time to knit me a sweater, crochet me a blanket, any of that. Gender/label/id....who cares! The idea that anyone would take that time would be what counted.
I have a little ceramic heart I got from Diva a year or so ago. I treasure it. Not just because it is incredibly artistic, but because it was made and given with love. It was one of the first things I unpacked and put out today. That's what counts in the end. Love. |

I think the idea of a sweetheart making anything with hys/his two hands is almost magical and I would suspect the fairies put hym up to it!..lol..but a sweet thought! I vote for mittens, kittens love them!
