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

Well, it's been a little while since I've posted anything on here, things always seem to get busy around February I guess. So this is my first commissioned project: a nice hooded scarf.

It’s my first Man-Made Rug. It’s made of all-jute gardening twine from India. Each ball of 208 ft. cost me $1.49 at my local hardware store so it was a very inexpensive project.

Decision making is not my forte'. I am a doer and procrastinator. Yet somehow I managed to get through spinning this cobweb lace a bit ago. Another first for me is swatching.

It has been a time since I have knitted my first project. I think it turned out very well considering a few things. The entire project was knit from the back stitch.

This past week I completed Heather's Scarf. It turned out quite nice.

Dudes of Knitting:

I received a set of ebony size 1 dpns for Chirstmas and was very excited, but mostly use 0s for socks so I went and bought a set of those - very pricey! Beautiful, but expensive.
