Hey Everyone,

I just joined here and you guys are amazing. I'm new to the world of knitting and learning a lot online. Imagine my surprise to find a whole website devoted to Men Who Knit! Anyway I just wanted to say hello and thanks for this site. Here is a picture of some hats I recently made, experimenting with color work. Hoping to graduate soon to some larger projects (like a sweater for my partner).

Take care,

John

Welcome to the group. The

Welcome to the group. The hats are amazing. I also like making them, wearing them and giving them as gifts. The biggest thrill was walking in the east village one day and somebody asked me where I got the hat. When told I made it, he asked if I would sell it and lo and behold I had more money to spend on yarn.
From your knitting, it looks like you will graduate to sweaters quite soon.
