I've got what men want

Heh... now that I've gotten your attention! I thought today's Knitting Daily newsletter was quite interesting. They did a survey about what men like in a handknitted sweater, and published the results today:

The Perfect Men's Sweater is a long-sleeved pullover (80%), without a hood (64%). It is dark in color (90%), preferably solid blue (82%). It has minimal texture (68%), although something subtle, such as a bit of ribbing, is acceptable (58%).

Hmmm... sounds almost exactly like the St. Mawes sweater I'm making for Brad!

Yes, I really will finish it before the end of the winter. I will!

I stayed home sick today... a mild fever and sniffles and sinus congestion and now a cough. It's amazing how fast a cold can hit you. I don't even feel up for knitting or spinning. Bleh.

Wow Andrea, aren't you clever to have men figured out! I love the sweater - it looks great, in fact I'd love a sweater like that too.

Yeah, at least I have some aspect of men figured out. :P
