both my brothers knit. one is 54 & one is 47. the older one
doesn't knit much anymore though, but he has mental health
issues, plus i think his eyesight is bad, but he won't admit
it (or doesn't realize it).
and there are people like Kaffe Fassett...

what kinds of things do the boys in your classes enjoy? i
know scarves are 'easy', but they tend to be boring. Boo knits
caps on the frame, so i think caps would be good. mittens?
socks? slippers?
