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

My exams start on Monday and here I am procrastinating. :-p

Just realised that I haven't posted about my FOs here, so here you go:

Just wanted to show you the work in progress on my Sock, I have turned the heel!

I started a new pair of mittens. I'm knitting them flat, and this is working a lot better already.

Hi Guys!

A husband and wife trucking team I know is expecting a baby girl in December and I am attempting to make a pair of baby booties for them.

We have a white walnut tree (or butternut tree) in the yard and all of the nuts are falling to the ground. I would love to use the hulls to dye a little bit of yarn to make a scarf.

You guys might think I am mad, but there is a thrill for me in turning a sock heel.

Right guys I am off to my first recording session, I will be back in about 3 hours as I'm recording only one concerto so far! if possible I will try to add the recording to a message later!

That's a real word, so don't start. ;-) I'm in awe of virtually everyone on this site. You are all so damned prolific with your knitting. I knit sooooo slowly.

Hey guys-
A very dear friend just sent me some beautiful yarns in a couple of different shades of orange (my favorite color).
