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

Thanks to all, especially Tallguy, for your support during my blocking ordeal. Everything turned out beautifully.

I just noticed on Sunday that when I open Mozilla Firefox browser... the Ravelry logo appears next to both the Ravelry and the MenWhoKnit quick link buttons on the toolbar.

Right now I have 3 pairs of socks in the works. Of course two of those each have one completed sock. It's just the way I am.

I'm trying to get an image onto this post

I knit this last year for my son; I had to anticipate his growth to make it worthwhile. It fit him correctly only after washing and blocking (duh!).

Every year for Christmas I make my Mom some really warm comfortable socks. This year I went with a plain Cable sock that I found on Ravelry. I just finished the first one!

Well I just requested an invation to Ravelry.

Pray for me, boys...

This was a lot of fun and is actually wearable. The sleeve cap is a bit funky, but ok. Biggest mistake was not using smaller needles for the ribbing. Here's the pic from the original pattern.
