ALTOONA, Wis. - This Monday night men’s club doesn’t watch football. Thirty to 40 young men in Altoona, Wis., meet to crochet.

The Male Crochet Club formed about a year ago when one of the men learned the hobby from his girlfriend. A few guys got together, and word spread. Now there are members from virtually every area high school and college.

The guys crochet hats, afghans, doilies and bracelets.
