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

Hello Gentlemen and Occasional Women,

As it turned out, 2007 was one of the more calamitous years in my life.

Didn't get to do much knitting over the holidays, but have made some headway with the Lizard Ridge afghan, sixteen squares down and eight to go :-)

My first attempt at this was such a success and I knew the hubby's other sister was sure to want one too so I cast this on the weekend before Christmas and finished it today.

So I'm way behind every year on my Christmas (et al) cards. Today was the day I finally went to the post office to mail them off.

I was actually looking for a pattern of the coat worn by Lyra in the movie 'The Golden Compass' but when I googled 'Lyra knit coat' I came to this page:

OK – I admit it: I’m a knitting bag whore. And, I’m not the only one on this site – you others know who you are!

Spotted this today:
