From Sarah White, your About Needlecrafts Editor
With Valentine's Day on the horizon, you might be thinking about a craft to make for a man in your life (or maybe you are a male crafter and you want to make a craft a man will enjoy). Here are some great ideas from around About. Happy crafting!

Crochet a Men's Headband
Making a headband for a guy instead of buying one is actually a great way to save some cash, Amy says. Headbands like hers sold in stores are super expensive, but a handmade one -- using simple half double crochet stitches worked through the back loop -- can be made well without spending a lot of cash.

Sew a Durable Duffle Bag
Debbie stitched up this bag for her husband when the bag he carried his emergency tool kit in busted. Make it out of strong fabric and it can carry any number of necessities.

Knit Ribbed Hat
This easy hat pattern is great for the guy in your life who might no be crazy about wearing hats. It's snug and cozy but not too itchy -- a great basic for men and women alike.

Jewelry Gift Ideas for Men
Tammy has a great collection of ideas for jewelry-related things you can make for men, from key fobs to simple chains.
