Publisher Comments:

Packed with modern styles, tips on how to create personalized designs, and a history of the surprisingly close ties that men and yarn have shared through the years, this original craft book is perfect for the growing band of male knitters. Includes 25 projects.

Review:

"Co-founder of menknit.net, an online resource for male knitters, del Vecchio's print version is an excellent sourcebook for knitters of any gender. After a comprehensive introduction to knitting basics, including cast-ons, how to read yarn labels and how to tie a slip knot, del Vecchio offers detailed instructions for everything from a business card holder and iPod case to sweaters, throws and a knee-length coat, keeping projects practical and stylish. A standard sweater is jazzed up with an eye-catching tribal design, and he offers patterns for everyday manly items such as hiking boot socks and a watchman's cap and scarf. Each design comes with detailed instructions and, in true DK fashion, the book is loaded with photos and diagrams, making del Vecchio's projects practically foolproof for knitters of any skill level."

This is a great book for either gender. The patterns are well written and the title of the book is too funny. It's a good book for the knitter with some experience rather than a new knitter still learning the basics. It has an excellent hat and scarf set that everyone needs for cold winter weather.
