ManSpun Contest ideas?
in the event anyone wasn’t sure what would constitute manly uses for manspun yarn, i’ve put together a couple of samples for you…
guitar strings:
or perhaps you’re a chef, and you wanted to cook with it:
I’ve had a couple of patterns submitted, but i’m looking for photos. if you’ve made a pattern that would be good for manspun yarn, knit up a sample and photograph yourself using whatever you’ve designed.
have fun, and remember – the clock is ticking.
oh yeah, and tomorrow i’ll be at Knit-O-Matic, knitting up a storm for the afternoon. well, i won’t be knitting a storm – it’s a sock, but i’ll still be knitting it in the manliest possible way.


dudes, pop by sometime when you’re at knitomatic. well, not tomorrow as we’ll be in aurora. but let’s get together. will ponder the contest.
I thought the manliest thing to knit would be a peter-heater, or do you call it a willie-warmer? Not spaghetti!
But no, I don’t have a picture of one!
i’ve had a few people recommend the peter-heater/willie-warmer idea, but i’d prefer to keep the photos relatively close to PG rated so i can post them on the site.
crochet Tonka trucks/cars/tractors or monster trucks
that does sound very manly. make one up and send in your picture and YOU could be the manspun contest winner!
