It's a man's world - for once

The summer issue of knitty.com is up and this time, it's all about the boys.

At a first glance, I like:
The Tychus hat
Baby Cargo pants
Drunken Argyle vest
Ripley (extraspicy!)
and the intarsia on the Kumo kimono

Magknits will be a monthly knitting magazine from August. Take a look at the lovely Baccarat Player top. I like the draped front. It's just a pity that Magknits hasn't taken Knitty's cue on always including schematics, I would like to see how the front is constructed.

Magknits needs some bag patterns for the October issue. I have an idea, but when will I find the time to experiment?

My boys are going to Sweden on Monday, to stay with their baby cousin. In a flash of inspiration I started on a jacket for Oscar last night. The key to the (possible) success: Phildar's Coton 8 paired with sock yarn and 10 mm telephone poles. I'm knitting the body in one piece. In my next-to worst case scenario, it will be a vest. In the worst scenario, my wrists will kill me. Twirling telephone poles around is more of a manly job, isn't it?
