More men should like knitting ...

This fellow over here occasionally puts up a crazy post about what women need to do to catch themselves a man. So, I couldn't resist responding to this one:

....FACT.

Correct me if I'm wrong (I expect just one or two corrections), but I think every woman likes a man who enjoys knitting. A man who enjoys knitting is good - one who enjoys knitting AND yarn shopping, or even perhaps just yarning and shopping, is even better!

This is partly because we love talking about it (and just yarning in general), so it gives us something in common. A man with his own opinions about knitted attire is great. I don't work with any of them, but I wish I did. I reckon they'd be fun to talk to, understand female obssessions and generally be men of upstanding character (note Henry in Northanger Abbey - understanding muslin, a textile of another kind but close enough, got him a long way).

Men, what do you like to knit? Or what knitted garments appeal to you most? I know Ben wears a lovely scarf (which is totally awesome), but apart from that, I'm not sure I know too many other guys who know anything about knitting.

If you do end up knitting, you could end up featuring in something like this:

Or you could make yourself something really useful like this (what is that?):

Or this:

Or support a worthy cause (just take this one at face value):

Or your atrocious knitting could be your fixable flaw, that makes you endearing (this is Cary Grant in Mr Lucky - it worked for him!):

Anyway, get into knitting!
