Before looking at this weeks WIPs, go enter my blogiversary contest, if you haven’t already! And take a look at the links in people’s comments. As a community we have knit some very cool things this past year. There are some former WIPs that are WIPs no longer. I’ve finished the Spaced Check Socks for [...]

First the Two Winners (then the Actual Blogiversary Contest): On Saturday afternoon, Janet of Twisted Knitter submitted the 1000th comment to Molecular Knitting.

You’ll have to wade through the WIPs to get to the contest info (or skip to the bottom if you are a heartless blog reader). I didn’t do any knitting on either scarf this past week, so I don’t have couch-o-meter progress this week. Last week I used a green tape measure and was told [...]
