"The Manly Art of Knitting"

Dave Fougner wrote this book in 1972 with two things in mind:




"There is definitely a dual purpose in the writing of this book. The first is to introduce knitting to those men who have an interest but are reluctant to try. Then too, it is hoped that the many men who now knit will become less reluctant to admit it."




I think it's clear that the intervening years have vindicated these motivations. (Bonus for Sonoma County residents: this was published in Santa Rosa. Via.)

Johnny Graham has a number of interests.

The Earth Wind & Fire guitarist likes music, pool, and fresh fruit.

Don't read this book in the evening.

You'll be up all night.

Curious to find out how "bad" your self can be?

Not to underestimate you, but I'm guessing your badness is not going to rival James Brown's.
