Men's-only knitting night a hit at Ohio shop

[September 29, 2009]  COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Call them the Knights of Knitting.

One evening each month the Wonder Knit shop in Columbus, Ohio, holds a men's-only knitting night. Shop owner Libby Bruce said she has as many as 15 guys attending her knitting circles. She adds they range in age from college students to older men, both gay and straight.

Bruce told the Columbus Dispatch the guys appreciate the chance to socialize and practice their hobby. But Bruce said that men knitting are a like women knitting, except for a lot of swearing.
