Mags, Bits and Frogging
Once again, knitting patterns for men are left off of the two most recent issues of Cast On and Interweave Knits. This is becoming a habit. I ranted about this before.
The Tit Bit can be found on Knitty.com. It's a really easy knit and a great way to help someone who needs a better option for a breast. I gave #1 the option of yarn color and texture. The best yarn for the pattern should be soft! I used Art Fibers. I knit two Tit Bits in one night. My special note: only use an i-cord for the nipple if you want a really prominent nipple. I fixed both of the ones I made.
Time for the Elbac to go away. The pattern doesn't hold any interest to me. It's be awhile since I last picked it up (almost 2 years ago). The only think I like about the project is the color of the yarn.

Advice from Wise Old Knitter: Hey, Boss, if you don't like it after two years you're never gonna like it. Rip it out. Skein and wet the yarn and hang it to dry. make it back into a ball and knit something you REALLY like!
have you ever written to these magazines and voiced your thoughts on that fact that there are no patterns for men?
