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

Just a little reminder that there's not a whole lot of time before Christmas! Here's something I think you may like to make a great Christmas present for someone you know - and you can always get one for yourself as well!

I'm doing a gauge swatch with a knitting sheath and some US1 needles. In keeping with some good advice, the swatch is a hat. Like, if you're making a swatch anyway, why not make it something useful?

I just came across this article. It made me smile. I immediately thought to share it with our community here. Maybe somebody else has posted it but if not I figured that some of the family here would enjoy it and maybe contribute.

Been knitting flat out to get this finished for Thanks Giving this weekend as my sister in law will be visiting. Made three pies and a doz butter tarts today so have a jump on dinner for Sunday, we are having a dozen or so family to the farm (Iknow have 7 chickens) so I call it "The Farm" lol.

Just letting you all know that you can pre-order the 2012 It Takes Balls To Knit ... Scarves Calendar here - http://ittakesballstoknit.com/?wpsc-product=2012-scarf-calendar. This is a tabloid (11" x 17") wall calendar with 13 scarves. Yes, the patterns are included. The models are wearing nothing but the scarves! Proceeds from the sales will go towards Prostate and Breast Cancer research.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Wendy Bernard, for living up to her promise!

The opening section of her new book Custom Knits 2 clearly offering a welcome acknowledgement that ANY garment design can be adapted to a man, woman or child, AND OFFERING guidance how to make the changes marks her as an American Cultural Treasure!

I saw a post on here from a long time ago. I'm new to SF and am looking for a men's knitting group. Are there any men who knit in SF? Where do you guys meet? Surely I'm not alone!!
