That's me - Mr.Hugzzz aka Barrington aka Steve

This is me. Mr. Hugzzz. As you can tell, I have a passion for knitting … amongst other things. I have decided to do a blog about it because I have found the web lacking in knitting blogs by heterosexual men. And because I have a lot of ideas and this will help me realize them. And share them as well. I have been a knitter for over 15 years now and I love to experiment. I warn you now that the words on these pages are mine, and mine alone. I don’t intend to offend anyone with my opinion, but if you don’t like them, well, don’t read.As I progress in my proficiency with this blogging phenomenon I will try to reflect it in my posts.

I currently live in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It’s not just the home to the 2010 Winter Olympics, its one of the most beautiful places on Earth. If you haven’t been here, you should come for a visit. I would be happy to show you around and if you’re lucky you may even get to see my stash.

If you’d like to know about knitting in general or the scene here, or anything else I may be able to help you with, I can be found or contacted at the following places:

    Thanks to the Knitters group on Facebook, I saw your Lucy Liu post and now I’m getting caught up on your blog. I’m anxiously awaiting the pattern for that scarf! I can’t get a decent resolution shot of it, or I’d try to figure it out myself. (Yeah, Chris, in your *abundance* of free time…) Looking forward to following you, and, maybe even getting out your way some day. If you’re ever in New England, give a shout.

    Chris, thanks for reading, the comment and the invite! I will definitely take you up on that when in out your way. As for the pattern, I’m working on it right now! There has been a lot of response to this post, so I’m trying to get it done asap. There will be a post about it very soon!

    Hi again Steve,

    Would it be possible to knit the Elementary scarf with Galileo yarn (Content: 50% Merino Wool, 50% Viscose from Bamboo
    Weight: Sport
    Knitting Gauge: 6 sts = 1″ on #3-5 needles (3.25mm-3.75mm) ? May be 2 strands at the same time?

    I can’t wait to start working on this, once I receive the download link, of course :-) Thank you!

    I think it would be, and you can definitely do the two strands at the same time. I would add about 8 extra stitches though, as the sport weight yarn will give a narrower band – which is okay if that’s what you want. While the bamboo tends to stretch, the wool should allow it to have a good memory! Please send pics when you’re under way!
