Men Who Knit Promoting and inspiring the art of knitting amongst men.

Lars made a funny post that made me think of this. Howzabout we each share a story about knitting a holiday gift for a guy/s in our life?

I don't want to finish this. I'm having too much fun handing this amorphous piece of knitting to friends to see if they can figure out what it actually is.

So I promised my friend Tom I'd put up pictures of the Christmas stockings I've been working on. And here they are.

While the hubby bear was sleeping this morning, I finished one of his Christmas presents - the Koolhas hat I mentioned in my post a few weeks ago.

A while back, Joe-in-Wyoming recommended a shop in Casper that he frequents. Today, I went to that yarn shop he recommended. The Dancing Sheep Yarn and Fiber store is a very nice store.

This is a question I've had for a while, how man of you learn a certain technique just because you think you should know it?

Take two brownsheep lambspride worsted, and one aracana magellanes in green, do a checkerboard with a garter border, switching yarns each row and knit until the first skein runs out.

Here are a couple of pictures of my first ever completed project. It’s a two-color spiral rug crocheted from jute gardening twine, two strands per color. Half double crochet throughout.

Another felting project I just finished. A set of intertwined Mobius bowls.

Here is a felted Mobius bowl I finished. The technique is quite a bit different from knitting. I used the patterns from Car Bordhi's book A Second Treasury of Magical Knitting.
