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

My folks asked what I would like for X-mas, and I was thinking one of those interchangable cable needle sets.

So...I bought a "WHITE MAGIC KNITTER" to replace the long lost "PHILDAR BIG PHIL" knitting frame. (They're identical but for colour and a difference of 15 extra needles on the frame).

I recently posted about a package from Webs missing in transit on its route from the USA.

The following took place last night at work...

"Thank you for calling the Emergency Department. This is Bill. How can I help you?"

AS of Today I have not heard from the person knitting for me, maybe they are busy who knows.

Well, here it is. My Hemlock Ring Blanket.

So today begins the first day of 10 days of vacation. I haven't had vacation time since last November. I am really ready for some serious couch surfing and knitting.

I've emailed my spoilee and I'll be getting the yarn for the scarf Saturday and casting on sometime early next week.
