I would think he was an art installation, and I'd have to watch him for a bit.

Not a problem for me at all...I'd probably check out what he's making and see if he can give me any pointers (i love to knit batting )...after all, men were the first knitters in history you know shock

My idea to post such a poll was I watched a very very very poor fisherman who was knitting net beside a sea side somewhere here. I don’t know he was a gay or not, whether he was secure of masculinity or weird but all that I know this is a part of his profession and when he goes to the deep see taking life risk every day at mid night to supply delicious fishes in the morning market then probably his wife and children wait for him at shore… as American artist Winslow Homer’s “waiting 4 dad” I could remember!

Thanks to every one who already took part at my poll and advance thanks to them who will come in future! I wrote my idea above and every one shared their ideas basing on their own situations & experiences. This was not a riddle to solve. Rather this is a platform to share our ideas, views, news. So, every vote & comment is valuable at my polls! Thanks again.

peace handshake cheers

That's despictable that you think because he was knitting he might be gay. frustrated Try saying that to a man in the U.S. Navy who ties knots; try saying that to a man who has a boat that takes men out for deep sea fishing. Even if they were gay, they are manly men doh

Net mending and knots is not knitting lady.
I know all about fishing and deep sea fisherman thanks, my kids are products of one.
Any navy boy comes over here and starts knitting in public, I'll be saying it to him.

PS Learn to spell.

Sometimes words fail me. I don't usually notice women knitting in public so I presume I wouldn't notice a man knitting in public. WHY - Whats the issue?
