Knitting! Plus some gardening, cocktails, and whatever else strikes my fancy.
After over 5 years here at our own domain (www.molecularknitting.com) we are heading back to WordPress.com. As of April 1, 2026, https://molecularknitting.wordpress.com/ will once again, be the only home for Molecular Knitting. Thanks to everyone who has stayed with us along this journey.
