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

Thought I would start a thread for scarf patterns that could be used for the scarf exchange as suggested by vsidart.

I think I have a good grasp of knitting and purling now. I have completed hats and scarves using garter stitching and straight stockinette and some scarves using Gansey patterns and borders.

Pretty self-explanatory... how can I block socks without one of those fancy sock blockers? I'm experimenting with lace (simple, but turning out well).... ideas?

Hey guys. Finally finished my second attempt at MMario's Queen Anne Lace Shawl and wanted to post a pic.

Maybe this sketch will help

No hard sell. Just editing so this stays in the more "recent areas" of our little world. If you can knit a scarf in two months, join us!

***The Long Awaited MWK Scarf Exchange***

I was working on another pair of cigar gloves this weekend. I thought of a trick to reduce the number of ends to sew in.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to volunteer at a local alpaca farm for shearing. The day started at 7:30 a.m. with the arrival of the Iowa-based shearing team.

I learned to knit continental style and my continental "purl" is relatively tight (watch it!). I have recently been experimenting with the "Norwegian " purl.

thinking of hosting next sunday. anyone interested and available?
