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

Someone requested Selbu mitten patterns a while ago. I just came across two sources:

Recently I visited this exhibit with my older son, who wondered if there was a connection with a famous coach.

When knitting this sweater for my older son, I couldn't find some of the wool I had purchased, and had to purchase more.

I'm trying to get an image onto this post

I knit this last year for my son; I had to anticipate his growth to make it worthwhile. It fit him correctly only after washing and blocking (duh!).

I'll be in Houston for Thanksgiving. Know of 'must see' yarn shops? I'll be close to West University and the Shepard/Kirby area. Thanks!

My friend asked me to copy a blouse that her friend had. I knit it from top down. It was a nightmare because of the color and tendency of the yarn to split.

Just received news that very close friend will have a shot gun wedding (due to possibility of outlawing same sex marriage in November elections) tomorrow. They're leaving on a honeymoon on Friday.

Several months ago I posted pictures of a felted "kippah" or Jewish skull cap that I designed and knit. Because a member requested the pattern, I charted it and made it into an excel file.

Ever since my younger son attended our local Jewish day school that requires all boys to wear a "kippah" (yarmulke) every day, I've wanted to knit one, because I don't like to crochet.
