Nah. I like it where I am.

Eh... we do. Except that it's Apache 2.0, which is just like BSD but with an anti-patent-burn clause.

And BTW, parent post is spot-on.

Why do you even bother, man? :)

Seriously.

Knitting is pretty easy to pick up, and kind of fascinating for a geek: knitting basically boils down to creating an enormous, intricate, single knot in such a way that kind of falls together into a garment of some kind. I found it right up a nerd's alley.

Now, the problem with knitting is that 99% (if not 6-nines or better) of knitters are women[1], so all the patterns are for women's clothes and such. Thus it's not something that's realistically a long-term hobby for a guy, but if you as a man walk into a yarn store with actual knowledge, I guarantee you will find all the female attention you want. The first time it happened I seriously was weirded out, because all I really wanted was some reasonably durable, 100% cotton, worsted weight yarn and a set of double-ended needles for some socks I wanted to make.

So, it's something that will get you attention. It's probably a hobby that'll only last you a year or two, but at least you'll get some socks out of it.
