Apparently Shabaz has knitting has a hobby. So you'll have to monitor his actions carefully to see if he promotes the knitting cause...

Thanks, Rad :) . A male knitter too? Fantastic! A rare breed indeed.

Not being a BB fan myself, I've taken it upon myself to appoint you as the Sheffield Knitting Group's official BB knitting correspondent. I expect daily updates, with particular attention paid to patterns and yarn choice :D .

I should have said a rare and very welcome breed :). Knitting is massive in America amongst blokes; lots of cafes have been reporting that they're seeing ever-increasing numbers of men knitting at the regular knitters' meetings.

Have a look at the blog section (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showpost.php?p=1076971&postcount=2) in the recommended links; I have a section called 'blokes who blog'. There's also a fantastic writer (and knitter) called Franklin Habit (http://the-panopticon.blogspot.com/) who contributes to one of the podcasts I listen to.

If you ever feel the urge to take up the pointy sticks again, you'll be more than welcome here :) .

Erm I know nothing about knitting. They made me try at school, I couldnt even do one stich. But I'll tell you if he does any exciting knitting. none so far.

shouldn't this be kept in the BB thread?
