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

I was wondering what knitting software, if any, people out there are using. I'm currently playing around with Sweater Wizard.

I have been inspired....and wonder if there is a good beginners book on lace? I was practicing some new (to me) lace sts this weekend and found it fun.

Anyone know if the site is down? All of a sudden I'm getting 403 forbidden errors for all my bookmarks over there.

I saw this pattern on a knitting blog and since I love cables I decided to give it a try (here's the link: Utopia Hat).

I just watched the trailer for that Real Men Knit DVD and I saw my knitting instructor from my LYS(Seattle) on it!

Came across a site that offers lots of free patterns apart from patterns for sale: www.garnstudio.com
I don't think everything's translated into English, but quite a lot. Enjoy!
