Some guys in the DC area are becoming famous on social media because of their passion for knitting.
Calling themselves DC Men Knit, these guys get together twice a month to knit or crochet scarves, hats and blankets -- with the simple goal of relaxation and friendship.
"Knitting is not just for grandmas," said Sam Barsky, "Knitting is for anyone of any age or gender who wants to do it, who enjoys doing it."
This kind of reminds me of the '70s when NFL defensive lineman Rosie Grier was always talking about how much he enjoyed needlepoint.
Apparently knitting is a great activity for athletes to do in the off-season because it keeps their hands nimble.
The knitting club has been around for five years, has about 80 members, and is open to those who knit, crochet or do any kind of fiber art.
