Knitwear Hunk IV: Mikhail

Here's the last one!



Mikhail, 33, is a foreman on a hydroelectric-dam construction site. Misha has recently become engaged and when he's not overseeing building operations and logistics - in his dark-grey sweater/mitten/cap ensemble of course - he dabbles in recreational hunting.

Knitwear Hunk III: Dimitry

Dimitry, 38, is happily married with two young daughters. Dimitry holds a prestigious government job and savours weekends away at his country property, pottering in the garden in his dashing ochre vest.

Knitwear Hunk I: Oleg

I recently bought a small book of knit-patterns published in Soviet-era Russia from a local second-hand store. Translated, the title would be 'For you, ladies', but it only has patterns of male sweaters...ha. Over the next week or so I'll be posting scans of the four featured Russian dudes who are lucky enough to know women with top-notch knitting skills.

I present knitwear hunk number 1, Oleg:


Oleg, a physics major at University, lives with his mother in St. Petersburg. He likes to collect exotic fishes and enjoys brisk autumns because he's always cosy in his charcoal/brown buttoned sweater.
