This is really for men, not their girlfriends!

I noticed that all knitting books for men were bought by women (usually wives/partners). I wanted something for my son who is good at knitting and has a loyal corgi.

Come on, laugh - these men don't care!

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.

Something for all levels of experience

I love this book! It is so easy. I love dogs (how did the photographer get them?), I love looking at handsome male models (like "take it home to meet people") and most of all I love patterns.

Great variety with a few new tricks

I still have a few books about men's sweaters. It has a nice variety - a nice twist on some classic men's styles.

They cover a variety of techniques from basic stripes and textured stitches to intarsia, stockinette stitches, chain stitch/mosaic, regular and flirty, double breasted, etc. Sweaters…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn
