Ths Schaefer Yarn Company's Anne & Nancy Arrive

Another wonderful yarn by Schaefer is Nancy. This yarn is a thick and thin twisted fiber and the colors are alive. The 95% merino and 5% nylon 600 yard skeins are well suited for tops, sweaters, shawls and other projects that you will dream up when you see this yarn.

"Guy Knits" the book from the Best of Knitter's Magazine

Finding the perfect knit for a guy can be a challenge. Not to worry, here are 25 of the best from Knitter's Magazine. With the wide range of sizes and a special knit-to-fit section, these knits work for men in all walks of life.


From hats, mittens, and gauntlets to sweaters and vests, these fun-to-make projects will be worn and look good - just what men want.

When we knit for a guy, it usually means that the knitter is not the wearer. So we need to understand what the guy is comfortable wearing. Do this, and you needn't worry about the old boyfriend-sweater curse.

As always, knit with love, but make sure that love is not blind. After all, handknits should enhance, not complicate, a relationship.
