LET'S MAN-ALONG, BABY

Let's break that stupid Sweater Curse and all jump into the first* knit-along for men's patterns.... the MAN-ALONG.

What are you going to knit for that special guy in your life? To join the MAN-ALONG send me an email with your name (duh), your blog address (if you have one) and what you are planning on knitting.

I am going to be using Rowanspun DK in colors navy and cream to knit a sweater vest with a skull on the front for Dan the Man. I found the sweater at the über kool DomiKNITrix. Jen was nice enough to allow me to link directly to her site to show you what I am going to knit.

The person who has the best knitted garment at the end of the MAN-ALONG will receive as-yet-to-be-determined fancy yarn, a men's pattern book and some of my blank cards that I use as greeting cards. Dan and I will choose the winner.

There will also be another prize for the photo that makes Dan and I say, "the guy wearing that sweater is hot." You didn't think we would let that part go by would you?

Here are the rules...
1) You can choose any pattern you wish, as long as it is a sweater, cardigan, vest, etc. for a man. You can enter more than one garment, as long as you follow the rules.

2) It must be knit and finished between September 6, 2004 and January 1, 2005. (I know that is a long time, but these are sweaters we are talking about here people...) You can join at any time during the above period, but to be eligible for the prizes, you need to be finished by 1/1/05.

3) You must be listed on this site as a participant in the MAN-ALONG. Email me with the info listed above to let me know you are joining. I will list your first name on the column on the left and will indicate when you are finished. I will also expect you to leave some comments on future MAN-ALONG entries with updates, and possibly links, on your progress.

4) At the end of the MAN-ALONG you must email me one scanned/digital photo of your entry. Please make sure the photo is in JPG format and under 100k. The man for whom the garment was intended must be wearing it in the photo. The garment needs to be in clear view. I expect creativity people!

Here is the official button for the MAN-ALONG if you wish to put it on your blog. You can link it to the following URL: colorguardblog.blogs.com/knitblog/manalong/index.html

Good luck and let the knitting commence!

* I can't verify that this is indeed the first knit-along using men's patterns. So, if somebody out there has already hosted a MAN-ALONG let me know and I will give you credit.

[Jon]

Doh! I missed it! There's no way I can crank out a sweater in the next two weeks. Would love to know if you are going to do this again next year.

[Johanna]

I hosted a "Men-along" last winter. Way to go hosting one now. I think it's needed! If I can find it, I'll send you a copy of my button for kicks. I think you'll enjoy it.

[Debbie]

This is my first knit-along and it couldn't be more perfect! I can't wait to see everyone's faboo sweaters and hunky models!

Too perfect! My first sweater and my first knitalong!

[pixie]

Wow, cool idea!

Hello everyone. If you would like to put the button on your blog, just put the link to this page...

colorguardblog.blogs.com/knitblog/2004/09/lets_manalong_b.html

[Becky]

Cool button, cool knitalong. With prizes, bay-bee!

You bet I'm in. I'm sending an e-mail with details right after I click the "send" button on this comment.

P.S. I'd like to put up the button with a link. Will you have a special page for the knitalong or should I just link to this entry?

[Niki]

Count me in! Just sent you my info. I am always looking for good 'man' patterns for my husband that don't make him look like he is 75, so if any one knows of any, let me know.

[sarah b.]

I do believe there has been one previous man-along, but I don't remember who hosted it. It sounds like a lot of fun! Once I wade through some of my current projects, I may join ya!
