Thanks for adding my earbud covers to this roundup, Scooch! :-)

Right now I'm knitting a pair of socks for a friend in college and a prayer shawl. Before that, my last project was pink cotton socks for my daughter. Believe me, guys, I am the coolest daddy on the planet.

I have been knitting for almost 10 years and I even started a knitting club. We have taught a good 50 or more teens -girls and guys to knit. If they can do it so can you! Plus, I personally think men who can knit are hot ;-)

Not being mean, but isn't "Manly Knits" an oxymoron?

It is also possible for a man to suffer physical harm wearing knits on Manly Beach in Australia, isn't it?

indeed, Sorry for the kidneys of the man that have to withstand that much heat in warming cloths :D

it was men who knitted and wore knits first. it wasn't until the 1920's did women really start knitting women's fashon.

OK, but just be careful running around in knits on Manly beach.
