new "man knitter" here. the last thing i figured i'd ever give a shot some how entered my life. i was travelling in northern ontario last january...was way north of timmins and found myself stuck in a small town for 4 days because of really crappy weather. not much there though a local bar and a few patrons including a hard core knitter. so with a beer in one hand and a couple chop sticks in the other i got told how to knit...

Hi,I am sooo sorry for not checking in sooner!That crocheted quilt was made by my Uncle Roland (to whom the film was dedicated)more than 25yrs ago, right before he passed away (prematurely :( I am sorry that I do not know the name and that he is not alive to ask.

I'm a 49 year old male whose been knitting and crocheting for almost 38 years. These guys knit very slowly, but at least they are trying.The pool cues would be about size 17 probably, but of course, much longer.This is not the exact same leaf motif afghan as in the video, it's more elaborate, but the closest I've seen, at least for free patterns is called sculptured block afghan at the free vintage knitting website. |
