Truckers!
I saw this online via the Wall Street Journal and thought it was too good to miss a posting. I know it's not my traditional "Friday Fun Find," but we need to shake it up a little!
Who would’ve thunk it? Can you imagine it? A big, burly, tattoed guy sitting in a truck cab knitting a pastel sweater for his wife. A formidable, ex-soldier making a quilt of yellow and purple flowers.
Since the trucking industry has suffered with the economy, many truckers have more time on their hands between hauls. That gets boring. So, many have taken up the art of crafting in their cabs, mainly knitting and machine quilting. But I think it’s going to be a long time before talk of threads and fabric swatches are heard amidst the din of truck stops!
Just goes to show you: appearances can be deceiving!
