I start with a couple: knitting and crocheting. They are two of the two most useful things I've learned so far, all thanks to my grandmother and one of my aunts. Creating bags to carry things, repairing pants, jackets and backpacks, creating little cushions for my lower back or to support my wrist when I'm in the office, etc.

I still remember with some humor how my grandmother insisted to me that, as a man, I should not be ashamed of knowing how to crochet.

Oddly enough, my sister is the one who doesn't know how to do either those things lol

I was going to come here to say the same thing. So many women I’ve dated are surprised at my cooking because it’s stupidly considered to be a women’s skillset.

    Are you dating women in the 60s? Cooking is an incredibly popular skill and hobby these days.
