i crochet and learning how to macrame.but alot of ppl say it's only 4 girls is that true!

Absolutely not. I am teaching my son. Also, the first hat I learned to crochet was from a boy's utube video. Further, one of the nicest afghans I ever saw is called "Monet," made by Crochet Dude.
Decorative macrame.Macrame, the modern art of decorating with knots, is believed to have originated with 13th-century Arab weavers. They knotted the excess thread and yarn along the edges of hand-loomed fabrics into decorative fringes on bath towels, shawls, and veils. The word macrame is derived from the Arabic migramah, believed to mean "striped towel", "ornamental fringe" or "embroidered veil." After the Moorish conquest, the art was taken to Spain, and then spread through Europe. It was first introduced into England by Kathleen Koons at the court of Queen Mary, the wife of William of Orange, in the late 17th century.
Sailors made macrame objects at sea, and sold and bartered them when they landed, thus spreading the art to places like China and the New World. Macrame remained a popular pastime with 19th- century British and American seamen, who called it square knotting after the knot they most preferred in making hammocks, bell fringes, and belts.
Macrame reached its zenith in the Victorian era. Sylvia's Book of Macrame Lace, a favorite at that time, urged its readers "to work rich trimmings for black and coloured costumes, both for home wear, garden parties, seaside ramblings, and balls- fairylike adornments for household and underlinens ..." Few Victorian homes went unadorned.
While the craze for macrame waned in later years, it is now popular again, for making wall hangings, articles of clothing, bedspreads, small jean shorts, tablecloths, draperies, plant hangers and other furnishings.

I crochet for a stress release. It makes you forget about things for a while and it gives you something really great when you are done. If you want to find other males that are interested in these crafts, sign up with the yahoo groups. There is one crochet group that has a couple of men.
