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

... with fleece not quite as white as snow.

I was inspired by Vsidart's "Baby Surprise Jacket" and as soon as I FIND my pattern, think that I should start one. In the meantime I pulled out EZ's "Knitting Without Tears".

Next Friday I'll be leaving for Iowa to ride my 3rd Ragbrai (ragbrai.org). It's a southern route this year that hugs just below I-80....

I wanted to take a moment and show off the Christmas Stocking that Vsidart made for me. He brought it when he came to Kansas a couple of weeks ago and I thought it looked FANTASTIC!

I remember once running across a technique somewhere for eliminating the "jog" line that occurs in round knitting where the round joins. Does anyone know anything about this?

Just cast this off... still need to block it-
Only three days on needle!
Picked up the yarn in Gove City, Kansas.
Did I really just type that?

Does anybody have a pattern for knitting slippers? I'd be much obliged to learn about it if you do.

Got this in my email today. Thought you all might enjoy seeing it.

A group at my LYS is doing this as a knit-a-long. I think we're slated to finish in 2011. Lace and fully beaded. Pattern is from Knitty.com I'm using Jaegerspun Zephyr (Cinnabar).

I will be in Mississauga (at the end of the YYZ runway more-or-less) Sunday evening through Friday. Anyone wanting to get together to knit or yarn-crawl in the evening, give me a shout.
