@James: A pirate, huh? ARRRR! Avast ye, matey! *brandishes knitting needles* Hm, not very fierce, but I bet if you load those knitting needles into a cannon you’d have something. As for the first mate…I’m not touching that one.

I wonder if pirates knit? They must’ve… I could be a pirate… though I’d prefer someone else besides a sheep to be first mate

Considering how immersed I am in the knit-blogging world, believe me, there is no stigma from me. In fact, I can think of quite a few men knit-bloggers who are entirely admirable in every way. Jared Flood over at Brooklyn Tweed, for example who’s a clever designer and great photographer, too. Franklin over at the Panopticon is entertaining, too. (Okay, he’s gay, but still very entertaining–especially with his “roommate,” Dolores the sheep, a hard-drinking, chain-smoking force of nature who is incredibly entertaining. See? )

But, anyway, the more people who knit, the better, in my opinion. Historically, men ran the knitting guilds, anyway.

And, I wouldn’t know how to heat an igloo, but I can bake bread from scratch, spin my own yarn, teach my dog tricks, read hundreds of books in a year, and recite the alphabet backwards.

Ah, but your bike isn’t faster once it drives over a nail mat

@James: You’re going to have to catch me first, and I do believe my bike is way faster than your car.

@ Harry – You are so dead.

@ Deb – Yes, okay, fine. I KNIT. I can juggle, jump horses, skate on ice, race on cross-country skis, build furniture, kayak, play basketball, play guitar, teach my kids which plants to eat if they get lost in the woods, build an igloo (and heat it), ice fish, etc, etc, and KNIT.

(I actually knit very well, too. Cabled sweaters and all.)

Now go leave your comment. If I have to risk jeopardizing my manhood by coming off as a pansy, you should at least try commenting twice.

Okay, I TRIED to go leave a comment on that post, but got an error message so it didn’t go through (sigh).

Oh, but Harry said I should ask you about knitting? (?)

If you’re a spammer, then no – pass and do not collect $200.

Otherwise, absolutely. Feel free to comment here as much as you’d like. And then go drop one comment – one only, mind you – on my guest post at Copyblogger
