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

Everyone has already said what I'm thinking about the gorgeous afghan! It is stunning. You did a fantastic job!

Knit like the wind!

The colors are devastating.(In a good way). The whole piece reminds me of an abstract expressionsit painting from the 50s or or 60s. Like one of those paint stainers - Helen Frankenthaler or Moris Lewis. Their compositions are very different but the over all feelling of rhythm and color is the same.

"I can't take any credit for the colours of the yarn, as that's the way Noro makes it."

Au contraire, you chose the colors and placed them. Only God can take credit for a color but we can take credit for coordinating it.

Really taken with this so had a look at the pattern..thanks for the link, maybe my next project with some home spun...

OK I gave it a try with some scrap yarn and managed ok I think apart from this bit:
Working Wraps Together with Wrapped Stitches:
Work the "wraps" at the turning points of the short rows, together with the stitches they wrap, as
follows:
When working a RS row: Knit to wrapped stitch, insert right needle into both wrap and stitch, and
knit them together.
When working a WS row: Purl to wrapped stitch, use tip of left needle to pick up "wrap" and place it
on left needle, purl wrap and stitch together

The wrap and turn bit above this in the pattern is straight forward enough but what does the above bit mean ? :) Any help appreciated.. thanks Stef

Very, very nice. Consider knitting the edge border. You can find many patterns free on the net.

What a great afghan/throw/blanket. It looks lovely and cozy on the bed. Wonderful colours and you did a fantastic job.
