Manly macho man. I'm sure you folks know the kind of guy that I'm talking about. I have a bit of a habit of mocking them, mostly by obviously, and very poorly, acting like one. Tend to be the kind of guy that would never do, or admit to doing, anything remotely considered feminine. This included crochet, lace, and things. But making a net is manly! Nets are *very* manly! Yeah, I mock. The odd thing is that I have met plenty of guys that know how to crochet and not a single one of them has been judgemental or awkward about it. All of the judgementalness that I have run into has come from females. Bizarre and very baffling. So, I love it when a guy has been accepted for doing such things without all of the hoopla. There is a TED Talk about coral reef crochet. Absolutely amazing, but the female presenter made a few sexist snide comments that rubbed my ball of yarn the wrong way. If you have a few minutes, watch the TED Talk about coral reef crochet or hit Google Images ("coral reef crochet")for some crochet goodness. Now, here is a guy that I found last night and some of the photos are pretty funny in a good way: [url]http://onemancrochet.blogspot.com/[/url] My favorite snap is the group photo and he is in the background. However, I am also guilty of some sexism when it comes to these things. That is, I don't always openly talk about some of my skills because I expect to be judged in a bad way. I need to work on that, but I am getting better about it. I'm secure enough in my manhood to crochet. Yeah. Bit of a tangent rant. But it's all good. If you will excuse me, I have lots of snow to deal with and a thread to think about starting down in philo. . . . . . . . --and a net to make!!
