My Man, the Man.
In honor of Knitty’s The Man Issue, my lovely boyfriend, Kevin, will be guest blogging today.

Man in image not actual boyfriend.
He agreed to review the designs in Knitty.

Man in image also not actual boyfriend.
Click on the number to see the design.
1. But even cooler guys… find women to knit for them.
2. Clearly hoping to get “Lucky”.
3. *laughs hysterically* Nothing like a little shower cap fu.
4. Captain Christopher Pike, Before the Accident.
5. Doesn’t that make your elbows sweat?
6. Did you get the Garanimals pants to go with it? (Before he saw the children’s version.)
7. Morrisey takes up golf.
8. The baby is a future painter. But pretty cute. The baby.
9. Why does he look like he would rather you were really naughty?
10. That’s just hideous! You wouldn’t give that to someone who lost their scalp in a tragic thresher accident.
11. That’s pretty mossy looking there.
12. Are they a marital aid, or something for the burn ward?
13. If you blink really fast, the stripes appear to strobe.
14. Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar, but sometimes, hey, are these things stain resistant?
15. Somewhere in this picture is an invisible Aztec.
16. Dude, your sack is really furry.
Gail back - Kevin’s comments were nicer than mine. To give you an idea, I said this about one of the designs:
“Damn, I wish she would have knit this for me _before_ we got married so I could have dumped her ass.”
Anyways, if you are looking for a sweater just like Lucky, only not insanely bulky with an ugly neckline, you want to buy the Paton Leaflet, Indigo Days, from Elann(click to see actual sweater).

Man in image still not actual boyfriend.
It’s also known on this blog as “The sweater of great boringness”, due to how you will die of boredom from all the mistake rib.

July 6th, 2005 at 6:50 amI actually like both Saranac and Lucky. That said, if you want to knit similar sweaters, you should knit a swatch, visit my site, pull down a menu for your guy’s size, enter your guy’s measurements and generate the pattern on the fly!
If you don’t want it insanely bulky, just don’t use insanely bulky yarn.
Saranac especially…

July 6th, 2005 at 12:26 pmLove this post … like the guest blogger’s comments on Knitty patterns too! LOL!
By the way, I agree with you on the KnitPicks issue in KR … just didn’t respond to the apology … which I think is not too sincere. Actually, all the supporters are ready to forgive even before the apology … so it’s jus stupid not to, in my opinion.
Anyway, have a nice day. -

July 13th, 2005 at 8:00 pmLove the comments as well. This issue was far, far from being even a remote favourite. I don’t think there’s anything in it I would knit, nor would any of the guys I know where the majority of these items. It’s a good thing people have varying tastes or this world would be mighty boring.
