So my name is nshane and I’m a knitter. Yes, I’m a man who knits. There a problem with that? But anyway. Since this is a knitting blog, lets get down to the knitting.

Projects currently on the needles (WIPS)

  1. Toe-up socks using a variety of info from different patterns on sz2 DPNS using this dressy looking black/white TOFUtsies.
  2. Ribbed vibrator condom for a friend using green/white/yellow varigated yarn from the stash on sz3 DPNS
  3. Amy’s (PITA) Lacy Thong. More yarn from the stash. I think its bernat baby in baby blue. Its soft and fuzzy.
  4. Megger’s Bikini Top. Even more stash yarn. Triangle bikini top. More for laying by the pool than in the pool.
  5. Scarf Blanket. I had this great idea to knit a scarf a month, using the same pattern but different colors of yarn. Month one, give first scarf. Month two, give second scarf. Month three, give third scarf but get first and second back. Stitch them together. Every month make a new scarf and take one back and stitch to the previous. After a year you will probably have a nice lap blanket. I’m making mine from black redheart and various colors of Yarn Bee Luscious.
  6. Lionbrand Hooded Sweater. Making mine with pewter Homespun. I’ve been working on it for over a year because its just so boring. I’m sure I’ll finish it soon enough.
  7. Random Thong. Did I mention I have a metric fark tonne of Yarn Bee Luscious? Yep, I do. Hobby Lobby had a sale, $1 each. I bought a whole cart full of random colors. I’m whipping up the lightest, fluffiest thong Frederic’s of Hollywood never though of.
  8. Men’s Thong-th-thong by Joan McGowan-Michael. Short rows are hard. This was a pretty easy knit from yarn I had hanging around. Its a completely non-functional garment but it was interesting to knit and I learned something new. Mission Accomplished!

You’ll notice a lot of yarn from the stash. I’m broke at the moment and knitting is my distraction from boredom. I have enough yarn (and projects) to keep me unbored for quite some time.

I’ve also recently started doing yoga, which has done wonders for my flexibility. Thats a good thing(tm) because all the back, knee and ankle injuries are starting to catch up to me in my old age. I’m 30 and feel 50 sometimes. I hurt and just don’t want to move.
