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

I'm working on the African Adventure blanket. I'm planning on taking all summer on it. It's a fun project. I recently finished 'Moderne Baby Blanket' for some friends of mine and I enjoyed log cabin knitting so much that I'd like to make a larger log cabin style blanket for myself.

Oh! And next week I start a 10-week spinning class where I'll learn drop spindle with different fibers, and dyeing.

Trying to finish yard work before taking off on a knitting cruise - for which I still need to decide what project*(s) to take. And Where the HELL did I put that pair os kilt socks...?

i am finishing up a charity blanket for linus project adn starting on a second one, just handed in my jason pieces fro the quilt, have a sweater to frog, and i'm sure there is something else i should be working on....oh yeah, work.

all i know of love, is love is all there is

Because i teach knitting, i tend to have a lot of different projects at a time. Many of them i started to demonstrate particular techniques to my students, and then i usually have a few of my own. I just finished the knitting part of a purse, and now i need to felt it and assemble it. I have a pair of socks... each frozen at a different point to demonstrate to the next class... one beginning the heel flap and one at turning the heel. I have several scarves to show the possibilities to my beginning knitters, an elaborate Aran cardigan and matching skirt (Vogue pattern), and an all but finished felted knapsack in Lopi that is waiting on a yarn order because i ran out of enough for the strap, and also i will soon begin a cashmere blend cable sweater for myself with a zipper, and a reversable hat for a really cute guy i like who asked me to knit something for him.

Do you think i'm knitting enough? LOL.

I am making watch caps for the college knitting club to distribute to elementary school children, a cabled hat out of some old-school K-Mart itchy virgin wool, and a big baby blanket for a fetus destined to be born next month. The baby blanket is washable.

WOW! Those look really great! Especially the sweater. Once I get a little more advanced, I would love to try to do a cable knit sweater. Perhaps you could give me a little guidance as far as that goes. Keep up the good work!!
