If a guy admitted to knowing how to knit, how would that affect your opinion of him?

Well, seeing as how I've been trying to learn and keep forgetting how...

Sergeant John Spartan knew how to knit in "Demolition Man", and Sandra Bullock still wanted to wrap her legs around him. Admittedly, these are fictional people, but I just thought I'd mention that

I know how.

I just never use that skill.

I can do the Swedish weaving and the cross-stitching. In fact, I ended up enjoying the cross-stitiching a lot more than I'd like to admit...

I don't know how to knit, but I know how to cook. Is that worth anything?

I know this question doesn't exactly pretain to me, but what's wrong with knitting?

From my experience, hell yes.

Not all girls are turned on by a guy who knows how to cook, of course, but it seems to be a good thing for the most part. Especially if you know how to cook really well.

A man who`d say to people he knows he`s knitting would be percieved as a girly man.

Personaly i know how to cook,but i still have trouble breaking eggs,i always end up crushing them.

My husband is an excellent cook and can cross stich. Much better than me. I can't cook and the best I can do with a needle and thread is fix a button.

I dunno, am man who can admit to being a good knitter might be kinda like the knight in pink plate armor. He must be a total badass to survive to this point, so Im keeping my distance.

However, he got the knowledge from being an icecube for 40 years, and their society was totally FUBAR.
As a completely off-topic note, why did Blondie (what was his real name) who was charged with murder of the hostages, get a parole hearing before Spartan, who was charged with manslaughter?

And the movie has the best line (aprox):

Reporter: Mr. Spartan, what about the fact you destroyed a 20 million dollar super mall to rescue a girl who's ransom was only 12 thousand?
Girl: Fuck you, lady!
Spartan: Good answer!

I can sew, but not very well.

But then again, sewing is a useful skill to know, while knitting isn't exactly necessary...

I think my reaction would be something along the lines of

"You can knit?"
"You really can?"
"really?"
"Wow, that's cool!"

It'll definitely be a plus in my books, and if he can knit me a pair of bunny-eared slippers I'll marry him...well...ok, that's taking it a bit too far but he'll hold a special place in my heart if he can do that.

So far, I've heard a number mention cooking as a rather positive trait. Actually, it's just a good thing to have in general, as it is an important life skill, in my opinion.

Captain Cyran · Post by **Captain Cyran** » 2003-07-10 11:57pm

I can cook. Not very good but I can. And I can kind of sew...

I'm sure I could learn how to knit if I wanted too.

Alex Moon · Post by **Alex Moon** » 2003-07-11 02:00am

BTW, I can cook as well. Not the greatest, but I'm getting better. I also need to learn how to sew better (I learned a long time ago but have forgotten it all). I'm learning to knit because I realized last winter that I needed a scarf, and I thought hey, since I've got all summer, why not?

Actually, I know a couple of guys in my family who can sew. According to my grandmother, my father is pretty good at sewing, and once made himself a teddy bear by hand when he was young.

It's actually not that difficult, at least so far.

I can make a fine batch of cookies. I can also make rice, raman or chili. Anything done with a microwave is doable by me. Thats about the extent of my cooking skills.

Darth Garden Gnome · Post by **Darth Garden Gnome** » 2003-07-11 02:19am

I don't know crap abotu knitting; I've never touched a needle and thread in my life. Not that I have anything against it, it just never occured to me that I should learn how to knit.

I mean, if I get a tear in my pants, I'm not gonna knit 'em back together. I'm gonna wear them and give anyone who gives me a dirty look the finger.

I bust a button...well...I might have to track down me ma to handle that crisis.

Guys know how to knit?

[Hanz and Franz] Puny girly man, with puny girly muscles. [/Hanz and Franz]

I have no idea how to knit, but I bake a mean batch of cookies.

Howedar · Post by **Howedar** » 2003-07-11 02:27am

Once I ripped a shirt that I had to wear all day, so I patched it with duct tape on the inside. Nobody noticed.
