Maybe you saw this article in the Wall Street Journal, March 29, about long-distance truckers in the Midwest.....
Kevin Abraham-Banks learned to knit last year. So far, he has finished a scarf and socks, and is working on a sweater for his wife. "The fact that you can take strands of thread and basically make something out of it, that's awesome, I think. It's pretty cool stuff, man.", he says.
Thomas McConnaughy doesn't let on to other truckers that he keeps fifteen skeins of yarn in his cab and makes what he describes as "really cute slippers".
Dave White has a sewing machine in his truck's sleeper cabin, and spends up to three hours a day stitching quilt tops - seven since last August. Way to go, fellas!!!
(Thanks, Marie, for bringing this to my attention.)
