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

My beautiful niece, Jessica, turns four years old tomorrow and this afternoon was the birthday gathering.

Everyone is asleep. I have been studying all weekend for an exam on Monday. The agreement was that I would not knit until after the exam...

Okay, I admit it... I was honestly getting off on the sensual feel of the natural fibers gripping and sliding up and down the wood... knitting needles...

I finished the lace portion of the scarf and have moved into the ribbing.

Here is what I have been able to accomplish on the new scarf this weekend. I am doing a modified version of the "Ruffled Roses Scarf" by Annie Modesitt (I am leaving off the ruffled fabric).

HOLY MOLY! I think I now have a clue what people mean when they talk about being a "Yarn Snob"...

My "sister-in-law" heard that I had learned to knit and asked for a scarf for Christmas.

Here is my first attempt at a simple hat. Done on two sets of Size 8 circular needles.

Not too long ago, I ventured out of the "big city" (Chicago) and relocated to McHenry. Not exactly the hustle and bustle that I was used to...
