There was an article in the Hamilton Spectator last winter about how knitting is taking off for young men. Apparently, they like the engineering/mathematical aspect of it.

The mathematical aspect of knitting is one of the reasons I enjoy it. I seriously considered majoring in math, and I miss that.

That's a huge part of its appeal for me, too.

I believe the article also said that it's a great chick-magnet for guys.
