Much knitting has taken place here at chez Molecular Knitting, but before we get to that I have an update from Wisconsin. Faithful readers will remember that in September I sent Mom some feltable yarn for knitting cat beds. Well, after knitting and felting a …

First, thank you to all the readers that left such nice comments about my sock yarn stash. Someday I hope to show socks out of it all. Second, I can knit again!! My shoulder and arm took their sweet time, but they did unkink and …
