The newest from bestseller Stoller (Stitch 'n Bitch) gives men their first
chance to snuggle up with her fuzzy, fashion-forward knitting projects. While
the book is aimed largely at the women who knit for them, men will be happy to
know that Stoller's first concern is for their particular tastes: many
interesting elements.fancy stitches, unusual yarn, unique designs.are anathema
to most males, who prefer simple pieces in a darker palate. Part two includes
a wide array of (not too) colorful, occasionally edgy projects. Though there
are designs which any man would be proud to wear (scarves, caps, tube socks and
sweaters), many projects are geared toward younger men; among funky fashions,
two standouts are the well-proportioned biker jacket (with long, slim arms and
body for full coverage) and a felted DJ Bag with a retro cassette tape pattern
(though some designs.such as the beer bottle.shaped throw pillows.are just
plain juvenile). As expected, Stoller's directions are clear, terms are well
explained, illustrations are easy-to-follow and accompanying photos are stylish
and sexy, though projects are not rated for difficulty. Those unafraid to
venture beyond their comfort zone will find something suitable for most any man
on their holiday gift list.
