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

None of my files are attaching to my blog entries....it looks like they do, but when I save them...nothing shows up on the finished entry. HOLP! HOLP! (says the luddite).

From the remnant 5 inch strip cut off the edge of Dad's sweater..

Done on the Janome Sewist 521.

I'm doing the shaping on the sewing machine: neck and shoulder shaping, and a v neck zip cardi.

I made this shawl for my niece. It is from Cheryl Oberle"s "Folk Shawls". I used Briggs and Little Sport on 5.5mm.

Everyone okay? Knitch okay?

This is a hat I made for Dennis, I think he was feeling abandoned with all the chemo caps I have been making. he thinks it is "real cool".

Well, I've finished some hats, but not the Koolhaas yet. That pattern confused me and I had to frog it. I still want to do one. Maybe that'll be next.

I started and finished the front panel for my dad's sweater with the help of the DVD of "TORCH SONG TRILOGY". (The Harvey Fierstein commentary is a hoot).
