I have been looking at this book, Men's Knits: 20 New Classics, by Erika Knight for a few weeks now and have much enthusiasm to start a new knitting project.
I really love the knitted styles and the look of the guys in this book—
and the austere backgrounds.
I have not tried any of the projects yet. I need to do a little more research and see what people are making. Here's a free v-neck sleeveless sweater pattern from this book. Found via Ravelry.
Okay, whenever I go to Ravelry I get lost for 45 minutes. Lost in a very good way. Here's a lovely men's hat pattern (free!) by Jared Flood. Now I want to start this, too.
And I am writing about this to get my hiney in gear to finish the sweater I started last year. I have never knitted a sweater. I tend to knit small items—hats, lots of baby booties, that type of thing. So, I need to just get in the groove here. I wish I could knit standing. I sure many of you can. I might take al this as a sign to slow down/do less so I can sit a knit for a little bit? That, or I need to tie up my baby.
