This guy has my full respect. He knows we all are free to do whatever doesn’t hurt other living creatures.
And his choice is to do something creative / productive.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This can be very serious thing sometimes.
Gandhi freed India from Britain by encouraging Indian people to make their own clothes, instead of buying English fabric and aid British economy.
(Not only by that, but it was one of measures. Before British invasion India was one of the richest countries in the world. And you can not be rich without production. I think they are taking same road again.)

Besides, few decades ago my father was often making needlepoint in park. Some of them very big. They are still hanging on our walls.
(I never asked him was it attractive to young mothers in that park. LOL)
Oh come on guys, he’s doing something useful during a forced downtime — that’s more than most can say. Personally i have a little respect for a guy who can break the cultural trends that way and be seen in public doing it.
I’m sorry you’re a moron. In most programming languages a number is not allowed to be a variable. Ignoring that the variable was never declared, a ’1′ can never be declared as a variable as such you can not increment 1 by 1 since it’s value is constant and always equals 1. I’ll admit my error message was probably incorrect in fact Java compilers throw a “Unresolved compilation problem: Invalid argument to operation ++ –” as an error.
It’s not often a comment can make me literally lol like this one did. I would’ve laughed louder/harder if I didn’t have to worry about waking my baby. Lol!!!
i actually don’t know if it does make a lot of sense. i knit and my fingers get really stiff if i don’t take a break after a while. i feel like that could be the same problem for surgeons, only the results would be more serious
This guy has my full respect, more power to him. He’s doing something productive and is not obsessed with what people think or giving in to brand and advertising. More than most of us can say. If I saw him I’d have to compliment him.
I’m not sure what your point is. Yes, this would be less interesting the guy was knitting while wearing normal clothing instead of matching crocheted pants, vest, and hat. It’s a picture of a guy who is dressed very oddly and doing something that is slightly unusual. The clothing is the noteworthy thing here- saying ‘But it wouldn’t be funny if he wasn’t dressed funny” is missing the point.
Save money on knitting? Naw, I’d say that ensemble… if you are using the cheap stuff, would be 40-60$ possibly more, I have never knit a pair of pants. I’d round it up too since he is a man and those sizes are larger. 60-80$. Final answer!
And at first I was all, that is TOTES crochet! Then I realized he was knittin’ in the ROUND! and I was all, HOLLA at cho home boi!
I have total respect. You would be surprised at how many people just come up and talk to you because you are holding needles. Like deadly spears usually made of metal are some how NOT intimidating. I think it is because knitters don’t want blood on their work. All I can say is I’m ready for the vampire apocalypse, and all my friends are invited.
if he bought his yarn at walmart it would be way cheaper than $60. i made 3-4 baby blankets out of one skein from walmart and it only cost like $6. i bet the amount of yarn i used was pretty close to what he did. and the yarn is super soft and machine washable too
Damn! Real funky.
I’m all for making your own clothing… But there has to be a limit.
Random Danni’s greatness has NO limit!
this is what stallone would be wearing if they made demolition man 2

This.
The guy is apparently doing a great job.
LOL! Yeah – that would be a great sequel!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
I LOVE THIS COMMENT!
That’s kinda awesome.
i think thats a yarnbomber
SOMEONE GIVE THIS GUY A……………………thread-cavity search?

***Compile error. Cannot find variable ’1′.***
That’s constant, you, moron!

I haven’t done c++ in a long time, but isn’t that actually a literal?
You have variables, constants, keywords, and literals, no?
Knitta please
Well played Shar. Well played…
Wow… I gotta hand it to you, that was clever.
A+
*standing ovation*
This may be the funniest comment I’ve ever read on this website. My hat. It surrenders to you.
You made me snort with laughter and for that you get a +10,000 interwebz points!
Ohmygod, Gert, stop giving them all away or we won’t have any left!
It’s not often a comment can make me literally lol like this one did. I would’ve laughed louder/harder if I didn’t have to worry about waking my baby. Lol!!!
heheheh…. wait…. this glass isnt supposed to be fuzzy….
Winning, anyone?
^+1
THIS….is AWESOME
Actually I think that fit is nice. I would ROCK THE HECK OUT OF IT!
I would ROCK THE HECK OUT OF IT!
Kinda bad ass if you ask me.
I want to knit with this man.
It’s not knitting it’s crochet. He has one hook not two needles.
As far as I’m concerned this is a win tbh
Guys who knit/crochet are totally sexy.
That’s an odd fetish. It’s cool, yeah, but I’m not really turned on by yarn…
I knew a surgeon who did needlepoint.
That makes a lot of sense, since they’re supposed to have good hands. But I don’t know how that could possibly turn somebody on…
i actually don’t know if it does make a lot of sense. i knit and my fingers get really stiff if i don’t take a break after a while. i feel like that could be the same problem for surgeons, only the results would be more serious
I’ve seen that guy. He’s epic funky. He makes some pretty cool stuff, though!
WHAT’S COOLER THAN BEING COOL???
ICE COLD!!!!
I admire his skill as a crocheter! I think he looks wonderful!
Me, too. I’d miss my stop, just watching him do his thing.
Totally with both of you.
he is obviously manic
Not necessarily. You see, in some cultures this is totally normal.
Wins.
Poorly Dressed: Crocheting Just Got phaggoty
Failblog fail, this is a win.
Rosie Grier’s taking the bus now. . . .
This might be taking your hobby a BIT far but it’s still cool. He should probably stick to sweaters though. The pants are a tad over the top.
I saw this guy’s twin sister in a craft store the other day…she was wearing exactly the same outfit but in camouflage yarn instead of yellow.
I miss NYC.
Looking at this picture makes me pronounce it crotch-et-ing
1) Just FYI for people: Kitting ≠ Crocheting.
2) I think he might actually be knitting, but I can’t tell 100%. It doesn’t look like crochet, though his hat does.
Didn’t notice the rest of his outfit right away… LoL. But again, what’s on his lap looks more like knitting to me.
To me also looks like he’s knitting this time.
But his outfit is crochet, and it is funky.
Yeah, it just bugs me when people don’t know the difference.
It’s crochet.. He doesn’t have needles just a hook.
I love him already.
This is a win, not a fail. Bless this man.
I appreciate this man’s dedication to his craft. The man is like a great mathematician, he shows his work!
wait, isn’t that Professor Badass?
This belongs in Picture is Unrelated!
I think it’s already been there.
This man is an urban folk hero.
This guy is totally cool. I would love to be his friend.
Andre 3000?
Andre 3000 is Ms. Jackson.
This guy has my full respect, more power to him. He’s doing something productive and is not obsessed with what people think or giving in to brand and advertising. More than most of us can say. If I saw him I’d have to compliment him.
If a zoo staff see him, he would get caught with a net as soon as possible.
of course he’s black… no offense
Now,in your minds eye,switch crotchet man and newspaper guys clothes around. Not so cool now is it? Be aware of the stereo-types you hold.

No New Yorker would look twice at that guy. What is the big deal.
He must save a mint on clothing, too.
Heck, I think the only reason anyone would look twice at him is color scheme. If his color choice wasn’t so loud you’d have to look twice to notice.

He’s crocheting in the round.
Now that is a blanket with sleeves! take that snuggie!
I’d say its a win, hes got more perserverance and self confidence than most.
WHAT? Crochet’s always been funky!
He’s knitting a wedding dress too
That’s normal for the NYC subway
this guy probably has a wallet that says “bada$$ motherf—er”.
“i’m superfly tnt. i’m a mushroom cloud layin motherf—er”
Sorry miss Jackson
oooo
I am fo reeaaalll
never.meant.to.make.yo.daughter.cry
that is one dedicated gangster. not only does he rep the colors, he involves them in his knitting projects
I seen this guy before! He is very cool down to earth and spiritual and everyone else around seems like robots compared to him
That man is the best-dressed person there. He’s rocking that yellow crochet ensemble like a boss.
