Off the Shelf: Knits Men Want

Knits Men Want is a knitting pattern book, written by a fellow, but subtitled “The Ten Rules Every Woman Should Know Before Knitting for a Man.”

ManMades appreciates that it recognizes that guys are interested in handmade goodies, but aren’t terribly excited about its presumed audience.

Though, politics aside, this is a good one. Really. I spent almost an hour with it today, and it’s got the goods. The patterns are awesome, easy to follow, and account for different sizes and gauges. The photos are great, and it contains lots of sharp tips for creating things for men’s bodies.We like. A lot.
