The manly life of knitting

But I do have this little piece of curious drivel - the guy who sits across from me at work has lately taken up knitting (largely because he was asked to go and be a male presence for some knitting club featured on the Sunrise TV show, so he learnt a few things so he wouldn't look like a doofus). Now he wants to make himself a Dr Who scarf. Did you know there is a whole website devoted to the Dr Who scarf? So now we sit here and occasionally discuss the acquisition of wool and knitting and crochet, show each other things on the internet and I give him a few tips. But hey, I didn't start it, and knitting and crochet is in a different category altogether to tarts and confectionery!
