Molecular Knitting

Today’s WIPs are one that is really a pseudo-WIP, some previous and still WIPs, and a new, exciting WIP (at least for me). First up, the pseudo-WIP. I have two balls of aqua La Gran from my stash that I thought might make a nice gift scarf. I found what looked like a pretty mohair [...]

I don’t really like the word “blogosphere” but I am going to use it out of sheer perversity. Today I visited Beth’s blog and found out that of all the shades of orange she is a pumpkin. So I clicked on her link, and low and behold, You are Apricot Soft and sweet, over time [...]

Here at Molecular Knitting there are 2 new FOs. Well, one is new, and the other was in hiding until given as a gift. My MIL wanted to knit socks; she knits scarves on very big straight needles.

First and foremost, I must rectify my neglect from yesterday (even though I wasn’t called on it). The cat photos were taken by my brother, Thomas, on his new digital camera. He’s become a really good photographer. I meant to give him photo credits, but then I forgot. You can’t trust a big sister with [...]

Yes, it’s a box of yarn. A care package soon to be on its way to Wisconsin, where the winters are cold, and kitties need felted kitty beds. Mom, the knitter who taught me to knit, has promised to make some. I sent her the links to the pattern on Wendy’s blog. I hope that [...]

Over the past few days, I’ve tried to do some prioritizing (I’m pretending that I can stick to this). Namely, what I need and want to have done by Christmas. I am not the fastest knitter in the West, so now is the time to get that sort of thing clear. First and foremost, I [...]
