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

wow! thanks for the great comments!

here's a photo of the entire piece as some of you requested.

the shawl:
Pattern: Swallowtail by Evelyn A. Clark (Interweave Knits Fall '06 ).

It has been far too long. New hobbies have arrived, and a slight obsession with brewing beer took some necessary funds away from knitting. However, I'm back with great urgency. There is a sweater that I offered as part of an auction. This, however, never got done. I am resolved to make it before this year's auction (noting that a one-year layover is less than awesome). Thought I would share something that I found on youtube a long time ago - rather humorous.

Enjoy, and be well.

Basically we wanted to swap or trade knitting stash and didn't want to have to pay to do it. So we made this http://www.stashswap.com

It only went up last week, but we hope you like it, it'd be good to get some more chaps involved.

Cheers now, and have fun.

I am almost done with a clerical stole I knit for my nephew's ordination. (11 am, saturday - he will be ordained a Deacon in the Episcopal Church)

Red wool, sport weight from Black Oak Wool of Dundee NY (I think they are out of business now)
Knit on size US 3 needles.

about 4 inches x 110 inches, with eyelet lace designs for about 16 inches either end.

All I have left to do is finish sewing the backing on, then steam blocking it.

I posted pictures out in my folder at Knitted lace.
