[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like this was a trolling OP because the answer (cars are no longer mechanical and kids have other stuff to do) is super obvious. I assume some basement boy will jump in with how men should be men, but yeah, tinkering with cars for most teen boys is about as relevant as [b]girls knitting their own dresses[/b]. [/quote]

Actually, lots of young women knit these days.  The difference is that knitting technology hasn't really changed that much, whereas automobile technology has.  My dad did a lot of his own car maintenance for decades, and now he doesn't do as much, because cars have changed.  Knowing how to change a tire and change the wipers and jump a battery are still useful skills, but not really enough for a hobby.  [/quote]

DP.  I have to say, I don't know anyone who has knitted their own dress - not even my grandmothers and great-grandmothers who could do knit, crochet, tatt and sew.  A 'knit dress', as the term is used, refers to a type of material, not the result of someone knitting.

I didn't learn to knit until Trump was elected President and the call for Pussy Hats was put out.  DH was 12 at the time and had several friends who already knew how to knit.  DD learned right along with me.  We're all still knitting.  She and her friends have quite the little knitting club.  After pussy hats, they made other matching hats and are now working on socks.
