She also knows that knitting for a boyfriend or husband or father is full of pitfalls. The answer <i>Son of Stitch 'N Bitch</i>, the hip, smart knitter's guide to knitting for men. A "knitting superstar" (<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i>) and author of the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling <i>Stitch 'N Bitch: The Knitter's Handbook</i> and other <i>Stitch 'N Bitch</i> books, Debbie Stoller combines fashion savvy with uncommon knitting sense. Here's how to get the right sweater measurement (because size <i>definitely</i> matters) - and why never to bring him along to pick out the yarn. Why "what's your favorite color" is a dangerous question - and how you can't go wrong with luxury yarns for even the most rugged of boyfriends. Best of all, here are 45 edgy, hipster patterns that are guy-vetted and approved, many designed by male master-knitters or women with men as design partners. Here's the Night & Day double-sided Brooklyn Bridge scarf. The Biker Boy sweater with a patch on the shoulder to protect against messenger bag wear and tear. Lucky Socks - think rat pack at the casino. Skull Isle Cap & Mitts. The Ernie sweater. Hangover Helpers - stuffed plush "beermeister" and "whiskey bottle" pillows. The Retropolitan Cardigan, with a geek-chic take on Mr. Rogers. Plus Man Hands (fingerless gloves), a Hackie Sack Hoodie, Pinup Girl Illusion scarf (oh, behave!), and more. 164449 1 11 2007 Son of a Stitch 'n Bitch total:169|5:37|4:47|3:64|2:20|1:1| 169 606 243 20 5 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 07:12:09 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 07:24:07 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Apr 17 08:15:50 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 17 08:17:20 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Tue Dec 30 12:49:29 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 30 12:51:22 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Nov 14 07:39:43 -0800 2007 Tue Jan 08 08:20:45 -0800 2008
