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

We leave this evening so that we can set up our booth tomorrow. If you're going to be there, come look for us in Barn 31.

I was just wandering around the Net looking at different yarns and saw one called Vicuna yarn. So I clicked and read about the rare nature of the yarn. Then I saw the price tag for one skein...

This is one of my favorite comic strips. Just thought I'd share this one panel with you.

Finished this vest about a week ago and got it washed and blocked. I used Palette yarn from Knitpicks and am really not a fan. I ordered a lot in this colour and in a grey.

Just finished the Flacon doily from the Yarnover site. I did it in an evening including the blocking. I used my mother's old recipe of sugar and water to starch it.
