#Repost @lorettanapoleoni with @get_repost ・・・ This is the first part of a beautiful story from an online magazine Shine.cn There should be no gender gap in knitting or other handicrafts,” said Pan, 34, a male knitter and knitwear entrepreneur in a village in the southern province of Guangdong. At age 6, Pan learned knitting from his mother, who like other women in their village handcrafted clothing for a foreign trade company in the 1980s and 90s. By the time he was 10, Pan had become quite accomplished and could knit a woolen sweater with ease. “I have liked knitting since my childhood,” said Pan. “The voices of doubt have always been there. Many people said that I was like a girl. I was embarrassed at the very beginning, but now I don’t care what people say about me.” While his teenage schoolmates were engaged in rough-and-tumble play after class, young Pan knitted and chatted with his mother and his neighborhood ayi. But as the 21st century dawned, those happy memories seemed a distant past. Handmade items were being replaced by machine-made goods, and knitting circles all but disappeared. Leaving his hometown, Pan studied pharmacy at university. However, he wasn’t really interested in his major, so undertook to learn Japanese on his own and later worked as a Japanese translator for a foreign company after graduation. In 2009, he had the idea of starting a business related to his hobby of knitting. He opened a Taobao store called Panwallzer and tested the market for handmade knitwear in his off-work hours. To his surprise, there were many people nostalgic about handcrafted clothing. In the first year, he earned thousands of yuan a month, higher than his existing salary. Determined to press on, Pan quit his job and returned to his hometown. His parents weren’t exactly overjoyed about his plans. #knittingbymachomen #maleknitters #maleknitting #sticka #knittaz4life #knittaplease #brooklynboyknits #knittax #knitta #knittaddict #maleknittersofinstagram #maleknittersaretakingover #maleknitting_cologne #maleknittersoftheworld https://www.instagram.com/p/B57mZDYHcsn/?igshid=135xt2i7iryzo

#Repost @lorettanapoleoni with @get_repost ・・・ TAKANBABE, Miyazaki -- An 81-year-old woman here has made 165 pairs of colorful socks and 160 crochet dishcloths that she hopes will help keep victims of October's Typhoon Hagibis warm this winter. Fist part of the story. Minomo, who grew up in a handicraft-loving household, has been knitting items such as sweaters for her family since marrying her husband Masato, 88, when she was 23. Her crochet socks are especially popular with her friends, to the point that she has to start preparing in summer to hand them out in time for winter. After Typhoon Hagibis tore through the Kanto, Tohoku and Shinshu regions in eastern, northeastern and central Japan, she felt heart-broken seeing images on TV of an elderly person with dementia hanging their head despondently while staying at a school gym serving as an evacuation center. At that time, Minomo already had 35 pairs of socks she was planning to drop off at a nearby care facility for the aged. Thinking that the winter cold would set in earlier in the devastated areas, she got her family to drive her to a craft shop in a neighboring city where she bought a bunch of yarns. She began kitting with a goal of making 100 pairs of socks.#sticka #knittaz4life #knittaplease #knitta #knittax #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knittingaddict #knittingislove #knittingtohelp #knittaplease #maleknitters #knittingbymachomen #knittinginjapan #japanknitting https://www.instagram.com/p/B6N20smn2Uy/?igshid=1sx579i455bkm

Another freestyled #FinishedObject ! I actually finished knitting this #asymmetricalponcho a few months ago, but I just seamed it together over the weekend! I used some various shades of #supersaveryarn by #redheart to make this poncho. One darling friend took a glance at the pic and described it as "serving Bette Middler in Ruthless People realness. I love it!" & I can't think of a more apt description! #wittyknitter504 #poncho #knittingnotquitting #menwhoknit #guyswhoknit #dudeswhoknit #knittaz4life #knittersoftwitter #knitstagram #knittersofravelry #knittinginpublic #knittersgonnaknit #tejeresmisuperpoder #hombresquetejen #tricot #tricotaddict #tricoteur #gaymaleknitter #gayguyswhoknit #gaymenwhoknit https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca2QUfUL8re/?utm_medium=tumblr

Completed hat. I like how the colors turned out! I'm not ever going to wear the thing, because they just aren't MY colors. But I am pleased. It will make a good shop sample to maybe help people buy sock yarn.
