Ha! That was awesome! I'm going to make my brother watch it. He's been thinking about learning to knit for a while, maybe this will help push him over the edge.

They are the manliest men - it must take a lot more balls to KIP as a guy.

It's always good to hear when men challenge their gender roles and do whatever they want to do with their time, rather than what's considered manly. And what better way to spend your time than to knit!

that was so awesome! it seemed like a parody, but I have to now see the whole thing. i also like that it had a kinda defensive tone: "real men knit!" thanks for finding this!

Was that Packers-lovign guy missing some teeth? I think maybe yes.....

Have you heard of the knitting podcast called sticks and sting? It's done by an austrailian man on blokes who knit. It's actually very good. He had a lot of diverse content.

The addiction is spreading!!!

I did some knitting when I was a kid but if I dropped something it did my head in. And I could never finish the row and reverse. I can sew though.

That vid didn't seem to have much of Saturday Night Live about it.
