    That is truly awesome. I wish that guy was my friend.

  2. Blåbär says:

    :-O

    @Batgirl

    HAHAHA!

  3. John E. says:

    Nothing strange about a man who can crochet. I myself am a knitter!

  4. BlueJimmie says:

    Is that Andre 3000?

  5. Jennyland says:

    Personally, I think that’s cool, not WTF!

  6. noodella says:

    That is superb. One of the happiest making pictures I´ve seen recently.

  7. Packgrog says:

    I think I actually saw this guy on the subway once.

  8. James says:

    Ah crap, we are suppose to be making fun of the guy doing crochet, i thought we was going to make fun of the guy reading the news paper…. damn i have nothing…..

  9. sus says:

    I like a man who’s not afraid of color. The hat was well thought out, it even has either a neck flappy or a snood :)

  10. loliepop says:

    I think the lady sitting to the left of him must have had that jacket made by him.

  11. Onestickchick says:

    This guy has guts to wear that on the subway. Then again, if the knuckle heads think he’s crazy they’d probably leave him alone…make that guts and smarts!

  12. Captain Obvious says:

    This pic is FTW !

  13. Rattus says:

    Do you suppose this is the same guy in the knitting mummy photo?

  14. kangariveroo says:

    @BlueJimmie
    my thoughts exactly!

  15. darkchyld98 says:

    Wonder if this guy could knit me some dub warmers for my Escalade…

  16. ninja face says:

    actly – i think he looks awesome! btw – those dude bin TANGOED

  17. n8n8baby says:

    This guy is 100% win.

  18. gladys says:

    I would SO totally date that guy.

    But if he didn’t teach me all his cool stitches, I’d make him sleep on the sofa.

  19. Cazmonster says:

    Crotcheted pants FTW!

  20. shoshanah says:

    This is interesting. I don’t get why he’s a WTF picture? Maybe I’m too modern, I’ve seen plenty of guys knitting, crocheting, whatever. It’s a good way to pass time on the subway, eh?

  21. S. says:

    This is AWESOME. I should save this for the next “International Knit in Public Day” gathering. (Sure it is crochet, but it is ALL GOOD!).

  22. jackie31337 says:

    Jennyland :
    Personally, I think that’s cool, not WTF!

    There’s no reason it can’t be both at the same time.

  23. Jackadoobie says:

    I’d buy a sweater from him! Think he could make one in a really bright blue color?

  24. WarDragon says:

    it would be really awesome if he made all those things in just one trip

  25. BeardofChuckNorris says:

    Knitters with attitude

  26. MissLe says:

    yo foo! im makin me a shaw!

  27. BoneFish says:

    this had gotta be nyc, not so uncommon there..

  28. #29 says:

    Clearly you’re in a palindromic mood.

    This is FTW not WTF.

  29. RoadRunner says:

    @#29

    We concede to your correction, and ownage, of our personal selves.

  30. Jannet says:

    I’ve seen this guy around in NYC. He has a few friends who also crochet a lot and hang out together with their yarn, often in Starbucks. Never thought I’d see a guy I recognize in Picture is Unrelated.

  31. Sabra says:

    Jannet, I wonder if he knows he’s famous on the internet? I love this picture every time I come across it. He totally kicks the ass of all the stupid chicks out there who think they’re doing something clever when they make a scarf!

  32. knittah please says:

    Ghost face Knittah

  33. vanessa says:

    thats so cool! i wish i knew how to crochet like that!

  34. Kim says:

    He is just too awesome.

  35. Grand Finale says:

    @BlueJimmie
    Hahahaha, that’s who I thought it was also!!

  36. P O says:

    Is that shopped? I think I can see the pixels in his hat…

  37. stan says:

    seen him on the train before and he was knitting something at the time as well. Maybe that’s his thing. Riding the train and knitting

  38. Now there is a man who know he has talent or else he wouldnt be doing it in the public,duuuh, so not wtf! Kudos to him!!

  39. ytak says:

    i wish that man would crochet me a hot pink jumpsuit. That would be amazderful! I wish he was my friend

  40. Ronnie says:

    wow…so cool

  41. asil says:

    awesome!!
    i reckon its so cool seeing guys (not just girls) doing crafts like crochet (as above)for an example
    its not just a chick thing!!

  42. Lubelle says:

    Awesome, the dude has a great talent. :)

  43. W says:

    Why is this commentable?

  44. malinda says:

    @BlueJimmie
    i’m pretty sure it is… haha… that’s the first thing i thought too!

  45. ChrisSSssS says:

    @BlueJimmie That’s what i’m thinking!

  46. n00000b says:

    But we need something more ethical than biodegradable ammunition and autosweep functions. The most accurate picture of a future warbot will be a small, quiet, solar powered machine. Rockets will contain not only shrapnel and cluster-type sub-munitions, but also seed-bombs in the same rocket to replant the forests destroyed by the wars of the future.

    Recycle bots should follow the front lines to melt down robot casualties into reinforcements. Recycle bots could then create the soylent green to fuel the engineers, forced to design ever more effective warbots. Of course, this thread has been photoshoped. The book was written by a corporate anti-healthcare robot who wants to trick us into letting him rule our pool!

  47. Sadness says:

    @Sabra
    I thought I was clever when I managed to make a scarf for my first knitting project.
    =( My hopes and dreams are dashed.

  48. Pistachio says:

    This guy resembles one of the models in Afya Ibomu’s crochet pattern book “Get Your Crochet On!” If so, I want an autograph.

  49. Brock Brawnson says:

    I bet he is so warm. if I lived in Russia I’d so make me one of these.

  50. shrawan says:

    HUGs to this guy !!

  51. Hilal Farouqui says:

    I’ll make him sit in the back of my car Mahindra Xylo (http://www.mahindraxylo.co.in) and ask him to crochet sweaters for my kids. …. Lol

  52. Milind Tambay says:

    I like his passion. He is least bothered of his surroundings. He is at his work like Shakespeare at his art.

    And by the way, @Hilal Farouqui, this Mahindra Xylo car is nice.

  53. Juta Semmel says:

    Looking at this man doing his thing which seems to give him peace, simply makes me happy; would be great if more of us could find a hobby that creates something that one can put to good use and also puts us in a good mental space; his life may be full of problems but this photo shows that he doesn’t have a care in the world; I also think his outfit is pretty cool…:)

  54. Little girl says:

    @BlueJimmie
    thats what i was thinking!!

  55. Mario Lat says:

    Cool cool dude. Way to go, man! Just do it! :)

  56. Anthony says:

    Yup, 100% FAG.

  57. joker says:

    i sold that man a 20 rock

  58. Tony says:

    Holy Cow I can’t believe that guy is actually reading a newspaper.

  59. He has gone beyond the usual in the makin of his clothes. That is the difference. Kind of like he is wearin a bed comfortor for clothes. But it looks good.

  60. nate says:

    I’ve seen the guy on the N train. He has a girlfriend covered in crochet stuff, too and they sell it. And it’s not that cheap, either, but it’s aaaalllll ugly.

  61. Rob says:

    Awesome that he shares his sewing talent with the public.

  62. SPID3R says:

    Knitting like a mothafucka

    win.

  63. The Variator says:

    @BlueJimmie
    lol andre 3000 thats exactly what went through my mind first, personally i think if you got the balls to sit there and do it then more power to you

  64. Maxigurl says:

    It would be even funnier if the guy had dyed his beard orange with henna, then his beard would match his outfit. LOL

  65. sahand says:

    Thats so g is talented he probably does that 40 hours a week or more its not easy to do that you have to have skills i have tried not easy

  66. हिमांशु says:

    यह बहुत अच्छा है ! Nothing wrong about it… Cheers Buddy!!!!

  67. Jay Lawrence says:

    I think that is great! He definitely has the talent, and has used it to make himself some serious head-to-toe wardrobe. Good for him!

  68. Sangre says:

    i actually know this guy :L

  69. I too crochet that well and make jewelry (among many other things); I’m very glad and proud to see it.

  71. neucraftt says:

    Teach a man to fish~ teach a man to knit. i guess :) hehe

  72. malendaz says:

    Looks like he has his own style. Nothing wrong with that.

  73. Tim says:

    That is the first sign of mental illness. If their country had not eaten every last standing animal specimen and had gotten to work- this could have been spared.

  74. MaliciouslyMiserable says:

    @BlueJimmie
    Hahahaha, EXACTLY what I was thinking.

  75. imran says:

    woahhhh i never thought the world would come to this lol…. thats cool tho

    The world is too old

  83. meh says:

  84. jacklang says:

    I found a great site—HTTP://WWW.EBUYINGS.COM—- Here has sexy, popular, aggressive and the gorgeous things.It may cause

    you to be enthusiastic, it may cause you to fill the brilliance. Try it today!

  85. Nishad TR says:

    I rally like his idea, Instead of listening some music and doing nothing, he’s making his journey a productive one. Great…

  86. Kimmer says:

    This guy is totally killing it! He doesn’t give a F*#K about what people think – he’s just doing his wicked Kool thing. Tom Ford, move the F*#K over, there’s a new kid in town.

  87. Does anyone know who this is? I think we need to come together in a concerted effort to find him and make him a superstar crochet artist. You just know that he made his entire outfit, complete with hat. Genius.

  88. Richard says:

    Reminds me of a graffiti I saw in the rest room at Tipitina’s music club in New Orleans years ago…

    “My mother made me a homosexual”…and written beneath it was

    “If I gave her the yarn would she make me one, too?”

  89. Alisha says:

    That is beyond wicked.
    You go, Boy! Men who crochet are awesome!!!

  90. Slafgar says:

    Well it’s simple. He has a cloth fetish or whatever

  91. chris says:

    @John E.

    knitter and nutter are only a silent k and a vowell apart :)

  92. canvas says:

    This is fuuny! if id have seen that i wouldnt have been able to take the picture id have been laughing that much!

  93. Ann says:

    That is cool!
    @ Slafgar.
    cloth fetish would be a perfect term

  94. Noelegy says:

    Crocheting is very relaxing (to me). The repetitive motions are my version of saying “Om.” It’s also a good way to pass time if you’re, say, riding the subway. I can’t think of anything to say about this that doesn’t sum up to “WIN!” I think this guy’s awesome.

  95. poophole says:

    i’m sorry miss jackson…….

  96. Paula says:

    Any guy who can crochet himself granny square jumpsuit with a matching hat is just COOL! :)

  97. dvdastarr says:

    It’s DJ Lance, before the days of YO Gabba Gabba!

  98. Kudeska says:

    Wow! I saw this dude on the subway)
    Cool, he made it here! )

  99. Just found this site. Amazing!

  100. Beatrice says:

  101. Bri says:
