The comments questioning your masculinity because you knit are just HEE-larious. Knitting in Europe in the Middle Ages was done exclusively by men and knitted merchandise and the labor to create it was controlled by the guilds.

"Knitting Guilds in Europe

"The first was set up during the Middle Ages and for men only. Men’s knitting guilds timelines cover the 1200s-1700s, declining in the mid 16th century as they became less important.

"If young men wanted to work in a guild and become a Master Knitter, well, needless to say, it was a huge commitment. They would spend six years in training. Women could not be members.

"Three years spent as a trainee and the remaining three traveling to different countries searching for new techniques and patterns.

"After finishing those six long years of study, the apprentice would return home and undergo an exam to gain entrance finally.

"The test consisted of making a felted cap, a pair of stockings or gloves, a garment, a shirt or waistcoat, and the most time-consuming item: a knitted carpet. Apprentices had 13 weeks to finish the exam. They would be judged on their mastery, level of skill, artistry, and good taste.

Knitting became a past time during the Arts and Crafts movement as a reaction to the industrial revolution.

Looks so cozy and soft. I like that variegated yarn too. So many types out there work up into clunky stripes.

You sure you're not the wife?

Nice

It looks like a baby bonnet. Did she have morning sickness? Or were you sick? It must have been jewflu, it's the only disease in the wild anymore.

Edit: I read it wrong to have read, " So the wife made a hat." Now it makes sense, well, except that you know how to do the wife's chores. Does she also wear the pants and do the pegging? Just fucking with you. You should have made a gun warmer.
