knitting as a hobby... don't knock it

[Jack Burton]

A guy's gotta do something when the winter months are long and lonely and he can't get out to the range.

I'll admit.. I've done my fair share of counted crossstitch in my time, but never tried knitting.

Heck, I'd probably still have a needle if I didnt pick up other hobbies that weren't so time consuming.

actually, thats a good thing to know. Maybe not knitting, but Im glad that I learned how to sew. Saved me a lot of money on uniforms, and holsters as well.

That's why my other hobbies include mountain biking and automobiles. Though I probably spend the most time researching guns by a wide margin.

Knitting: girly
Braiding: girly
Braiding with 550 paracord: very manly!

Logic bears out that knitting is only ok with 550 paracord.

Good read on the accompanying article. As far as the knitting, to each his own I guess. I prefer to use the winter months to catch up on reloading.

I knew a little old church going lady who was gaining mental problem with her old age...she knits sleeves for homeless guys to keep thier penises warm. No joke!

thoughtful, yes...but seriously? What made it worse was that she would put little bells at the end of it so they would make noise as they walked down the street.

A man needs to have at least some skills with a needle. How else will he put all those tactical-themed patches on his jacket?

Isn't that what we men have wives for?

Or superglue. That works too.






Yeah, luckily for me, my fiancee can help with that.

Question, why does it seem that no one shoots in the winter. For me that is when I get most of my shooting done. Crops are out, work slows down a bit, hunting season is over and fishing season has yet to start.

I try to shoot in the winter, less people at the range, more time to try and break in new equipment and less people drooling over your gear. Not that I mind the drooling part, I dont even mind letting people shoot my fire arms, but sometimes you just want to sight something in, or get some training done, and everyone standing around makes it a little more difficult.
