Knitting for Knumptys

[Bugbear]

Perhaps. I've done a timy bit of weaving and that was fun. In fact, I have taken the palm fronds from my trees and used them in basquet weaving. I'll have to read up on knitting.

So, you gonna try it?

Next to the kilt a guy sitting and knitting is the next best babe magnet.

Oh wow! Idea, A guy in a kilt, knitting, with a puppy playing at his feet. You'd have to have a stick to beat them off.

Toss in a toddler in a kilt and you have the irresistable combo. I have the puppy, kilt, and toddler in a kilt but I can't knit so I better get cracking.

The more I think about it, the more I want to take up knitting. Perhaps that will be my New Year's present to myself.

There are several beginning knitter books written for men. Titles include: Men Who Knit & The Dogs Who Love Them: 30 Great-Looking Designs for Man & His Best Friend; Son of Stitch 'n B***h: 45 Projects to Knit and Crochet for Men; The Knitting Man(ual): 20+ Projects for Guys; and Knitting With Balls: A Hands-On Guide to Knitting for the Modern Man.

Have fun,
Rex.

I agree with the suggestion to have someone teach you in person. Yarn shops are a great place to ask but don't forget your local library. The one I worked in had a knitting group and they were great about teaching people to knit. I tried to learn once, I should try again. Be sure to let us know about your progress.

Knitting is good. Knitting is addictive. Knitting is not cheap, you will not get cheaper socks because you make them own, but you won't want to wear the regular ones anymore. I agree that you should find someone to teach you, at least the basics, also a hat is an excellent starter project, you learn all the basics with a hat, and unlike a scarf, it ends.

Good luck, and then you can convince Yeti that he wants to finish learning

Knitting always scared me. It looks like some kind of voodoo.

didn't you know? It is. That's why I never cross a knitter...

[Bugbear]

Ya, I figured so. Guess you could put somebody's eye out with that.

I wouldn't want to cross a knitter just on the off chance they were knitting a list of victims for the next revolution.
