NIce article in the Friday Weekender Issue of the Washington Post about knitting, knitters and knitting groups in the Washington, DC metro area

I was thrilled to se a nice article about knitting, knitting groups knitters in knitting shops in the DC area.

I combed throughout the article to find reference to male knitters such as myself and pleased to find such. A male knitting group at Caribou Coffee was mentioned, a picture of a male knitter learning his first stitches (who came to Food and Friends with an armful of of blue wool to learn to knit a lap blanket for his girlfriend).


Well, need to get some fixings for tonight's meal and clean up the house a little.

Got bits and pieces of several knitting projects going, but had a bad cold for over a week, so I put my knitting on hold meanwhile, may start again soon.

There is a very shy male couple in our church, they are the only male couple there, so my best friend and I are trying to draw them out and get them to feel relaxed. My friend and I sit together as we have for years and months before this male couple showed up. so that it appears like there 2 male couples in the same service. He is married and I am gay single, but we hug, worship and take communion together. My friend and I would like to see more actual gay couples (male couples and female couples) in our church and I hope that eventually Joe and Ed will tell other gay couples that they are welcome in our church and that they will eventually show up.
