chrissyf Posted April 26, 2008 welcome. I have to admire a man who creates. My DH is all thumbs with a hook but give him a sheet of plastic canvas, a yarn needl and some of my yarn stash:eek (occasionally I share) he can come up with some great things. My oldest son had to do a needle craft project for Family and consumer science (Home Ec) he asked me to teach him to crochet and he mad a simple scarf. Teacher was impressed it was his first ever A+. But noiw he is happier with a stove and cooking implements oh well can't win all the men over but we are making a dent. Oh yeah and there are quite a few famous men who crochet Rosie Grier, George Washington carver, James Buchanan, Marvin Smith a photographer, check out this link that shows many other famous crochet artists http://members.aol.com/crochetwithdee/famous.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rikkimae 24 Posted April 27, 2008 Hi Simon, Cragrat's on your recovery, I picked up crocheting again while I was in prison. Addiction is a mighty beast. My clean date is 05/03/01. Now I don't bring my crocheting to my N/A meetings, but I have been known to bring finished projects along. There are 4 of us girls who met in prison who attend the same meeting. I guess we are the ones who can attest to what can happen when addiction is in control. Hang in there on the the not smoking. It can be really tough. I quit right before Turkey Day. It is so cool to see men crocheting. Sherry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
