KNITS MEN WANT
BOOK REVIEW !
KNITS MEN WANT, The 10 Rules Every Woman Should Know Before Knitting for a Man.
Plus The Only 10 Patterns She'll Ever Need!
For as long as women have been knitting, they've been
knitting garments for men-only to have men hide their lovingly created
pieces in drawers and closets. Men aren't being intentionally cruel;
they're just not comfortable in knitwear made with bright colors, itchy
yarn, or flashy designs.
So what's a knitter to do? Understand the
male psyche, says knitting instructor Bruce Weinstein. In Knits Men
Want he presents ten hilarious essays, each based on a rule that
helps women knit for men successfully. "Men Are Babies" explains
why guys need to wear soft fabrics. "Men Hate Fittings" describes how to
create a sweater based on one that's in his wardrobe. Following each
essay is a timeless master pattern, from socks, hats, and scarves to an
array of sweaters, all in a range of sizes and most written for multiple
gauges. With this book in hand, women finally have the secret to
knitting garments that men will appreciate and actually wear. About the AuthorBruce Weinstein has been designing knitwear and teaching
knitting for 10 years and has written 15 cookbooks with his partner,
Mark Scarborough.
