00:00I have always hidden all my crafts when I was a young boy
00:04and it's, for me, really nice to be surrounded by guys
00:09that are just real men and just guys
00:12that love the same kind of craft that I do.
00:15You always see women knitting in public.
00:26Starting this group was to help men
00:29become more comfortable knitting in public.
00:40Our tagline is care, craft, and community.
00:43We share a common thing, which is crafting.
00:46We all care for one another and we all comfort each other
00:49whenever something happens in our private lives.
00:59A lot of us seem to be introverts.
01:10I can just tell from, you know, just the personalities.
01:13I think this group has helped them become more comfortable,
01:17more confident being in public and knitting in public
01:20and socializing and that sort of thing.
01:29It allows me to disconnect from all the digital stuff
01:33in my life right now.
01:34There's a part of it that becomes automatic.
01:37There's a part of it that says, I am good at this
01:41and I feel comfortable as compared to doing something
01:43that's a struggle and frequently it has an end product.
