Quick, simple and exactly what I wanted. Now I want to try it with sock yarn!

Ami - Thank you!

knitted a hat and a scarf in rainbow colours, and as soon as I get my hands fixed I'll be continuing to knit a blanket I started a year and a half ago

I agree, knitting is super fun. I totally think its butchly though, because in my head I'm like: I made this! With sharp objects!

I don't know how that's butch, actually, but it makes sense to me.

So far, I am working on rectangles, and I am making a checkerboard patterned rectangle that's really bright.

Before this I was working on interpretative rectangles, which means that I was trying to make rectangles but they weren't coming out rectangular.

One day I hope to knit a circle. ;-)

I teach knitting at my school (apart from French and Latin!) and I have boys in the classes, they love it, also some male teachers have come for instruction, so I think knitting butches make total sense! Sharp objects indeed, I always caution the kids, and besides, one can always use one's Swiss Army knife to cut yarn, can't one?
Couple of years ago I had a very butch middle schooler in knitting, and she was very good so she got to the point she could make a tank top (regular project for the girls at this point) but knowing how she loved boys' clothing, I told her she could make a vest instead, and that I would get other colours for her (we seemed to have an abundance of pastel!)......and she said very loudly : Yesssssssss!!!!

Although I must admit I haven't done much this winter (I'm in the southern hemisphere, and baby it's cold outside). But I'm almost at the end of renovations and haven't been inspired due to the mess. I'm on Ravelry, but haven't been there much lately either.
