Useful , 2008-11-10
I bought this book for my boyfriend who is just learning to knit. The instruction throughout the book is excellent for a beginner. Some of the patterns are great while others... well not so much. So I would not recommend this book to an experienced knitter, but for the male beginner, this book is a great starting point.

Great patterns for men!, 2008-08-17
This book has great patterns for men to be knit by anyone although the book is written for men to learn to knit. Good instructions, too.

 A gift that was very appreciated!, 2008-06-10
I purchased this book for a guy I used to work with who needed to spend some time at home after an accident. After looking at it in a book store, I decided to get it for him. I was convinced that if I had asked him about it first, he would have said NO, assuming that this was a "girl thing," despite the title. Much to his own surprise, he got well into it, actually completing a simple project. Because he had so much fun working on it, I'm sure he'll do many more.
If you'd like to open up a gentleman in your circle to the great sense of relaxation and creativity that can be had with a productive craft like knitting, this is a GREAT BUY! Include enough yarn and the needles for one project, so he can get started right away.
I already have my next recipient in mind!

great all around introduction , 2008-04-06
This book has great illustrations and most of the patterns are easy to understand. The projects are highly varied - traditional (sweaters and scarves) to untraditional (laptop covers and utility cloths). Though I wouldn't wear or use all of them (camoflage coffee cup holder?!), they can be adapted with different yarns and adjustments to the patterns. The last section even delves into that. The best part is the illustrations and the fact that projects are of all difficulty levels. You learn all the basics without ever getting bored or having to commit to a huge project. There are several other books for male knitters besides this one.

An excellent survey indeed., 2008-02-07
Men knit - and have for centuries. From soldiers and cowboys to sailors, men have long made their own garments - so a book offering modern men keys to new patterns and the basics to knit them shouldn't be seen as revolutionary. KNITTING WITH BALLS: A HANDS-ON GUIDE TO KNITTING FOR THE MODERN MAN is an excellent basic instructional for any male who aspires to knit - and any needlework collection for beginners. It provides tips on patterns, instructions for every stitch, and even advice on how to begin a men's knitting group. An excellent survey indeed.
