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

I bought enough of this yarn in a shade called Waikari yarn to make a pullover for myself. It’s a lovely marled yarn in natural shades of white and dark brown.

I am interested in perfecting my technique. I have knit and pearl down well. What project could I do with these basic stitches?

I know that 'knotaproblem' just asked a similar question, but what people say for him might not be the same for me, so here it goes.

A couple of question from a novice knitter....

I have a pattern that calls for 4 balls of yarn. Is this the same as a skein? I thought things came in different amounts so you need to get the right amount by either weight (ounces) or yards.

Are there good and bad ball winders and swifts out there or are they pretty much equal?

Ok, so maybe I'm crazy, who cares. The only way to learn and get better is to challenge myself right?

Hey all,

I just thought I start the thread of the post-MSKR!

Thank you so much everyone for tolerating such a sickly Kenny (the way john says it)………

I would like to know who this important designer is, and where all his designs are published for a collector.

So I am making my son a hat, and now my 3 year old daughter has asked for one (of course) But she has a TON of hair and wears huge pony tails etc, and a hat would pretty much be useless for her.
