It's true, Tali! My grandfather knits, 3 of my brothers used to knit... men in Kilts are always knitting, when I go the the Scottish Highland Games.
Pretty cool?

Wow!!!!! just amazing!!!! in the culture where I grew up, knitting would humiliate a man in the eyes of others. it was believed that only women could do this
Knitting is less popular among men now, but in its heyday (1400-1900) knitting was an important economic activity and done by everyone. When it became industrialised, hand knitting was something that only rich women had time to do. Although poor children of both sexes were taught hand-knitting as a way to earn a living, and it was one of the accepted ways for single women to earn.
very interesting! thanks! yes, every culture has its roots and its history
😍
Hehe, you've been photographing exotic knitting men in the wild, Denise? 😍
It's like a lost history, isn't it?
The kilt wearing crowd often knit their own socks. :))
Indeed-history is lost so easily.
