This is the first time I have posted to MenWhoKnit.com. I am a self-taught knitter who has spent the last 3 months making 12 pairs of socks as Christmas gifts. I am now tired of making socks!

This is the first attempt at using more than one color and I am very pleased with the outcome. Made 2 of these hats from The Knitting Man(ual) and have been very satisfied with patterns contained in the book. Excellent source for men's patterns.

Nice hat with nice stitches. I guess all those socks paid off! Think of it as a reward.

Why is it called Go OSU? Oh, I see...Ohio. I always forget that there is another one, I shouldn't though as I have a cousin that goes there. Very nice hat, and a great pattern.

Really a great hat. Too bad

Really a great hat. Too bad I didn't know you when I lived in Hiram, we could have gotten together and knitted.

Great job! "A man may fight

Great job!

"A man may fight for many things. His country, his friends, his principles, the glistening tear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally, I'd mud-wrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a sack of French porn." Blackadder

Love this hat!

The shape, the colors! And beautiful workmanship!

Will check out the book!

BTW -- are you a "circular" or "double-pointed" kind-o-guy?

All the best in the New Year!
