November 2009
I haven't done a great deal of knitting for men, but I have noticed that there seems to be something about masculine taste in general which could very easily be completely at odds with the interests of the hand-knitter. The ones I've spoken to about it, at least, seem to have such plain taste that knitting for them can very easily become dull as ditchwater if you let it.
I converted this to be worked in the round so that we could try it on as we went - if we had had to wait until it was finished to get an idea about whether there were any sizing issues, I suspect we might have fallen out spectacularly. I also thought seams would just add unnecessary bulk, given how chunky this yarn is.
