This Monday, when I mentioned I was having a not-so-awesome day, The Man Who Knit sent me a link to their new video. I think this very act should happen every time I have a bad day… A wonderful and lovely video made by wonderful and lovely people should show up in front of me. Actually, it doesn’t even have to be a bad day, good days work, too. The first one they sent me, the second I discovered online. As always, thanks The Man Who Knit!







Like these videos? (And clearly, why wouldn’t you?) You can see some of their other videos here, here and here. You can learn more about The Man Who Knit over on their website or on Twitter.


Lest you think that these boys are alone out there being men who craft, you can find examples and links of many others here and here, which includes the story of Jim Simpson (pictured below), who knit this rug while a POW in WWII.* He’s pretty much like WWII MacGyver, if MacGyver had more free time and was even tougher. He straightened soup pot handles to use as needles and took apart sweaters and socks for the yarn to make this rug. Jim Simpson is truly inspirational and amazing.
