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

My beautiful niece, Jessica, turns four years old tomorrow and this afternoon was the birthday gathering.

Well, it's finished. I got some suggestions on how to finish it off with the flat top. Basically divided it into 10 sections of 9 needles each and decreased each section every other row.

when using double point needles do use a spare needle to knit with?

I subscribe to Interveave 'Knits' magazine and the latest issue continues a trend found in most knitting magazines of including little or nothing for men in the way of sweaters patterns, designs etc.

HEY Guys~

Here are two devices I found useful for stranded knitting. Neither is new but I thought I'd post about them for anyone who is considering this knitting technique.

So after a bit of practice with stranding, I cast on yarn for a hat and went at it.

Here is the orchid yarn starting to fill up the spool. I'm waiting for delivery of some Cheviot fleece from Pennsylvania so that I can spin the white yarn. I've already spun up some of the black.

I am starting to spin up the yarn for a sweater that will be my first attempt at steeking. I will use three colors: Orchid, White and Black.

Here are some of my WIP and some FOs, plus blocking the Slythering and a ThanksGiving Salutation!
