Product Description
Debbie Stoller knows that at least half the projects women knit are intended for the men in their lives. She also knows that knitting
for a boyfriend or husband or father is full of pitfalls. The answer Son of Stitch 'N Bitch, the hip, smart knitter's guide to knitting for men.
A "knitting superstar" (San Francisco Chronicle) and author of the New York Times bestselling Stitch 'N Bitch: The Knitter's Handbook and other Stitch 'N Bitch books, Debbie Stoller combines fashion savvy with uncommon knitting sense. Here's how to get the right sweater measurement (because size definitely matters)—and why never to bring him along to pick out the yarn. Why "what's your favorite color" is a dangerous question—and how you can't go wrong with luxury yarns for even the most rugged of boyfriends. Best of all, here are 45 edgy, hipster patterns that are guy-vetted and approved, many designed by male master-knitters or women with men as design partners. Here's the Night & Day double-sided Brooklyn Bridge scarf. The Biker Boy sweater with a patch on the shoulder to protect against messenger bag wear and tear. Lucky Socks—think rat pack at the casino. Skull Isle Cap & Mitts. The Ernie sweater. Hangover Helpers—stuffed plush "beermeister" and "whiskey bottle" pillows. The Retropolitan Cardigan, with a geek-chic take on Mr. Rogers. Plus Man Hands (fingerless gloves), a Hackie Sack Hoodie, Pinup Girl Illusion scarf (oh, behave!), and more.

• Eeh 09 June, 2008
Putting a skull on something doesn't make a crappy knitting pattern cool!! I was sooo disapointed with this book. Come to think of it, none of the Stitch n Bitch books have had many current patterns, they are all very out of date. You are better off taking classic patterns and modifying them to your mans taste. Or make him a blanket or socks! Something he will actually LIKE.

• Are You Man Enough! 01 April, 2008
Very few men want to knit and the few who do don't do it in public. Yet, if you are adventurous enough to do so, this book has sone nice (and some not so nice) articles that you could make. it is also projects that anyone can do for men's gifts. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. The variety of projects are in no way "grampa-y" or any other negative knitting related descriptor you can think of.

• More Great Patterns! 27 April, 2008
I am so excited to get this book! I have all the S&B books excpet the Happy Hooker since I don't crochet. This book is great. It has fun patterns and ideas. My boyfriend and I had fun looking through it together as he picked out things he would like. I'm looking forward to going yarn shopping so I can begin many new projects! Highly recommended!

• This Woman Has Best Sellers? 04 June, 2008
Gotta say that after purchasing this book I wish I would have gone to a bookshop to perooze it first. I really don't think that I would have bought it after that. There are a few hat patterns that are different than any I have seen before. Out of the 45 patterns in the book I may do 5 or 6 of them.

• Seriously Disappointed 15 July, 2008
I was hoping to find some cool NEW ideas for guys. Same old stuff- sweaters, scarves, hats... & the ties do not look well made at all.
Skulls are still in, but not new.
Honestly, not one man/boy in my life would be interested in any of these items, nor do i have the desire to make any of them...I have loved the other S&B books, & eagerly opened the package, but alas... blah!
Also, as said by others, the book is seriously lacking in crochet options.
I rarely write a negative, but just had to say it here.
