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

Needles, hooks, books and yarn donated to a local Elder care home. I will pop in now and then to see what projects the guys on here are up to.

Best of Luck....Knit on.

I have been working diligently on a sweater for myself and I am to the point of binding off the 2x2 rib sleeve. The original pattern called for an i-cord bind off, but I wanted the more traditional rib simply because it hugs my wrist better. Which bind off would you guys use? Just a regular 2 x 2 rib bind off? Will that be stretchy enough.

My nephew has been begging me for years now to make him an afghan. Well, I had other projects I had started and needed to finish before starting anything else. I was finally able to start on his afghan in March and this is the final product. I'm going to make him suffer a while longer and give it to him in August as a birthday present. One nephew down and two nieces and two nephews to go.

Dear knitting friends,

I have few rolls of ribbon in my stash 2 in one color 1 in another and was wondering does anyone know what small project could be done with them?

Hey all,

I'm going to be teaching a beginning knit class, and the LYS preferred a project-based class, so I whipped up this cowl and a pattern for it (which is on ravelry).
