Have any of you ever heard about this guy? He has had some commercial success with selling his own patterns and I think he has his own website (not completely sure about that though). I'm impressed that a guy is macho enough not to worry about doing something like this he loves.

Really?? Can you give us the link? Does he have beautiful patterns? It is really rare to see a guy with a feminine hobby(?). Maybe it will become a trend now... like women taking masculine jobs.

I found it! It's:

Drew Emborsky

He also has a blog that I saw on the search results. I think it's amazing that a guy has broken through the "yarn ceiling". There are a lot of male designers but none that I know that do crochet or knitting. I know a lot of sailors used to knit and macramé plus do scrimshaw.

I think that's wonderful! I'm glad to see a male crochet designer. Crochet is becoming so much more popular than it has been in quite some time. I'm glad to see some of it on the runways too.

Thanks for posting the link AntiDirtSquad! I think he's breaking ground for a lot of people. At least we know the gender gap is closing a bit. I agree with you Hacha about being glad to see a male designer. Kudos.
