I take it he was in management? :-D I hate to suggest he might like the knitting machines, because then you still might not get to work with them yourself. -Carol Actually he was a police officer, retired as a Detective on the force. That's where he gets his "in charge" personality from. Also he's a workaholic. Work before play he always says and there's always work to do around the house. When it comes to something the kids need though, he doesn't say anything about my sewing. Right now my daughter, who has her own house, wants me to make curtains for her bedroom. I just finished altering a Batman cape for my son. He's 28 and is a paramedic but he still loves his toys. He paid $1500 for this custom made costume. At that price it should have been perfect. I figure if I spend 1 day a week sewing on my garb and spend the evenings doing the hand sewing I should be able to get away without him complaining to me about it.
