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

Would love to know the one project that has failed you repeatedly, the one pattern that has duped you and pissed you off to no end.

I started knitting hats back in November and here are a few of them. As you can see I like chunky weight yarn.

OK here it is, such that it is. I wish I hadn't started out with the inch of garter but it is a practice piece.

OK, here it is, first time trying out the cable needle. and first time with non-synthetic yarn....I love both!

If you're in the Denver metro area, join us this Sunday, Feb. 3rd at 3pm. We'll be meeting at the Recycled Lamb, located at 2010 Youngfield Street in Lakewood. Hope to see you there!

"Rustikal" - Neck Warmer [366:08, 28.01.2008], originally uploaded by elemmaciltur.

Start & Finish: 25th January 2008
Yarn: My own hand-spun, "Bracken Ridge" from Ewe Give Me The Knits
Needles: 4.5 mm / 60 cm Addi Turbos
Pattern: Simple 25 stitches garter stitch, inspired/copied from Brooklyntweed's Espresso Scarf
Notes: I'm using the navajo-ply at each end of the scarf...so it's a bit chunkier there. I'm using three traditional deer-horn button commonly used in traditional Tracht here in (Bavaria) Germany. And yes, they are made from real horn and not the cheap-o plastic imitation...these ones cost about EUR 4 each.

Rachel is the knitting ninja at my LYS and we always have interesting conversations.
