Truckers Pick Up Quilting and Knitting - WSJ.com

I’ve known my share of male knitters, and one of my favorite “Knitties” is a male (HI DAVE!) – and I’ve read that some of the most talented quilt designers are men.  However, I don’t think I’ve ever met a knitting/quilting trucker.  I chuckle at the thought of seeing a big burly trucker sitting in a bustling truck stop, WIP in hand, chatting with the other guys.  The Wall Street Journal shows us that these elusive creature exist, although I am sure these guys still just stay in the truck and work on their projects.    The article is linked above – my husband was sure to tell me about it, having read it in his paper while eating his sardine lunch.
