    Sadly, my mother will use this to point out to me how knitting is making a come back, and how many young eligible women are knitters, and by picking it up myself, I would find a nice selection.

      Knitting? Sewing?

      Are you crazy? The modern man *cooks*. I found out myself... First it's a relaxing hobby, and second girls love men that can cook. Well, I only found out after getting married but there isn't a day that goes by where she throws herself around my neck after dinner... :-P

      Forget knitting... It's a dead end ;-)
