K N i t S m e N W A N tThe 10 Rules Every Woman Should Know Before Knitting for a Man—Plus the Only 10 Patterns She'll Ever Need By Bruce Weinstein; photographs by Jared Flood

For as long as women have been knitting, they’ve been knitting garments for men—only to have men avoid wearing them. So what’s a knitter to do? Understand the male psyche, says knitting instructor Bruce Weinstein. In Unwinding Men, Weinstein presents ten hilarious, enlight-ening essays, each based on a rule that will help women understand how men tick and how to knit for them suc-cessfully. Following each essay is a timeless master pat-tern—socks, hats, scarves, sweaters, and vests—written in a wide range of sizes and for multiple gauges.

30 color photographs, 128 pages, 7 ¾ x 9 ¼", paperback with flaps.

Sweaters, scarves, shrugs, hats, mitts, and more—everything you need to keep your needles clicking twenty-four seven.
