Nope, Your dad is not alone. My boyfriend crochets a bit. Enough that when we went to the grand opening of a yarn shop in our area he took the mini-class on crochet flowers. He was the only man in the group and surprised the instructor when she realized that he was working right along with the rest of us. (little turkey won the hourly door prize of yarn and a really neat knitting book also. We still tease him about it>
Also he sews. Quite a bit actually! While I was demoing lace making at the local fair he was sitting right there sewing fabric hats. It was a bit funny to see guys with their wives doing a double-take when they saw Dan working right alongside me doing fantastic German Renaissance hats and talking about how they were shaped like they were due to the fabric size restrictions on the looms that were in common use in the area/time.

So David learned to knit. My father taught me to knit, crochet and sew, and he taught my sisters too. Being an old-fashioned army man, they were taught to mend their own socks, sew on buttons etc. My husband, on the contrary, is hopeless in this field, and so I became my children's teacher.
