Moving from classrooms to local pubs to bullrings, these tales feature an array of men taking stock and reliving past glories, each concerned with loss in different ways-of their place in the world, of their power, their virility, health, and love.
The ease and convenience of knitting on circular needles is celebrated in this collection of patterns for circular knitting addicts and novices. Circular needles are easier on the wrists, there are fewer seams to sew and ends to weave in, and the stitches fly—enabling the crafter to spend more time knitting and less time on fussy finishing. Basic knitting fundamentals, Fair Isle, cables, and top-down knitting are among the techniques addressed, and the array of small and large projects includes a tunic dress, a long-sleeved tee, a bag, and a capelet.
