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

So today begins the first day of 10 days of vacation. I haven't had vacation time since last November. I am really ready for some serious couch surfing and knitting.

I've emailed my spoilee and I'll be getting the yarn for the scarf Saturday and casting on sometime early next week.

I will be on Holiday Woohoo!

I have about 10 inches done on the scarf. I get most of it done on the weekend, so it should grow in length a lot over the next couple of days. It should be finished on time with no problem.

So, I have about six inches done of my buddy scarf, I really need to work on it more, but I have been kind of sick. I feel fine, but I have crap in my lungs from all the cold weather.

I've written to my spoilee and have had a response from him. I've started his scarf and am about a third way through. Enjoying it, so hopefully have it finished soon

Well this one flew off the needles - a quick and easy to memorize pattern from Knitty.com. The pattern is called Lace Ribbon Scarf - and I did not repeat the pattern rows as called for.

I was writing up the pattern for my tri-colored flecked tweed hat and was planning on posting it to Ravelry, but then a question about ethics and etiquette dawned on me.

I'll be in Houston for Thanksgiving. Know of 'must see' yarn shops? I'll be close to West University and the Shepard/Kirby area. Thanks!

So I bought this knit flat-topped hat at Saturday Market 13 years ago. I love this hat. Every time I wear this hat, I get all kinds of compliments.
