crocheting man

[mythunderbird]

hi all, today i had the pleasure of talking crochet with a very nice young man. i invited him to joins us here, don't know if he will but i issued the invite!!!! we talked about the different yarns and how it is harder with some than others, he was a little afraid to try some of the bulkier yarns but i told him how fast they go and what size hook to use, he decided to go ahead and get the yarn. he is making a afghan in blues and whites. will be very pretty. just thought i would let you know it isn't just women who crochet, i thought that was soooo cool:woohoo :woohoo :w-grin vicki

I've heard about some men crocheting, but not young men!
Wow.

There is a Yarn/Cafe Store in NYC. I seen men crochet/knit that were young, in-between and old. Some of them made up their own patterns. Awesome!

The place is on 14street and 3rd Avenue. :)h :knit

I love to hear about people who share this passion, especially those who break the stereotype...

I was showing off some yarn at work the other day, and one of our regulars overheard the conversation, and he started in with how he'd learned to crochet in elementary school as a project, and has just recently taken it up again (he's probably late 20's) and is now teaching his wife too! I was totally shocked and thought it was sooo cool... he said next time he came in he'd wear a hat and scarf set he made, LOL!

We have at least one male member of Crochetville, and I suspect there are a few more. Lots of men of all ages crochet (and knit), it's just as relaxing and creative for them as it is for us. :))

My brother crochets - he's the one that taught me, actually!!! He's made probably a dozen afghans this year, inluding one for my DS!!
Here's the link if you want to check out some of what he's done!! gallery.mathwhiz.org/view...me=Crochet (http://gallery.mathwhiz.org/view_album.php?set_albumName=Crochet)

I've invited him to join here, but he doesn't have much free time.

Hugs,:grouphug

[rebeccav]

wow! is all that his? NICE work :yes

[Army Lani]

Yuppers! That's all his! He's done exchanges with a crochet group he's in, plus baby afghans and afghans for weddings and anniversaries plus for raffles at his work and church. He's done more than what's on his site - he hasn't had a chance to update it lately.

[mythunderbird]

lani, your brother does wonderful work, i bow to him!!!!!:rotfl :rotfl is so refreshing to see that men aren't afraid to try something new and make just as awesome stuff as us girls. how long has he been crocheting? vicki:w-lol

[Army Lani]

That's a good question!! Mom taught both of us when we were younger. I never did much with it until recently when my brother retaught me. I'd have to say he's been serious about it for maybe 10 years now. And would you believe, he's actually MUCH faster than my mom??

[shella85222]

I met a young guy at the Doctors office one day and he loved to crochet. He was asking me about the pattern I was making. He was telling me of the baby things he had made for there new baby. The blanket was awesome.

[Julie B in WA]

He is amazing!!!! I LOVE the wedding ring! I have the pattern, but I have it quite a way down my WIM list since it intimidates the heck out of me. He is one talented guy!:clap

[CLLinda]

My son is interested in Crocheting and is starting to learn from Me! I am so happy, but my daughter wants no part of it. You just never can tell who will follow your footsteps.

I know two relatively young (under 30) navy guys who crochet, and there's one 40ish guy at work who does as well. It's really not as uncommon as you might think :)

[Nan-Nan]

Gosh, he does beautiful work. Would love to have the pattern for that weddingring afghan.
