I talk about the two magazines floating around my living room: Bust Magazine for Feb/March 2011 (Edited by Stitch & Bitch author Debbie Stoller!), and Interweave Knits Spring 2011.  I give a bit of a highlight on some of the sweaters I liked out of the issue.

Knitting for Men

I review Knits Men Want by Bruce Weinstein.  I also look at it from my own point of view as a person whose grandmother seemed to know exactly what it was you had to do to get a guy to wear a hand-knit sweater.
