My So Called Scarf

nobody@vox.com(Mollie) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 13:31:37 -0400

The name of this pattern is actually My So Called Scarf, which I have never really gotten. I tried to connect it back to that old tv show My So Called Life, but it has nothing to do with the scarf pattern name. There is a story behind the patter...

A Scarf by Request

nobody@vox.com(Mollie) — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 12:24:01 -0400

This was knitted for a friend's husband, T., who asked if I would knit him a scarf. After several emails back and forth, we decided on an A Scarf Askew. They picked out the yarn and mailed it to me. It was kind of fun to have someone just send me...

Not Your Cheerleader's Chevron

nobody@vox.com(Mollie) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:51:45 -0400

I might not have made this scarf had I not seen the picture. The term "chevron" always makes me think of cheerleaders. Not that there is anything wrong with cheerleaders, I was one a long, long time ago, but I'm a bit old and square to try to ...

The Budweiser of Ales

nobody@vox.com(Mollie) — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 19:17:49 -0400

I got the official word today that I passed my comprehensive exams! I finished up my coursework this spring, so now all that stands between me and my PhD is that pesky little dissertation thing. I realize this has nothing to do with either knitti...

Classic Styles

nobody@vox.com(Mollie) — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 00:59:21 -0400

My mom used to knit on a regular basis, but hasn't really done it much in the last 20 or so years. Earlier this week she offered to get out her old knitting patterns to see if there was anything I would want to borrow. I took her up on it, but mo...

I will have it all someday

nobody@vox.com(Mollie) — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 08:20:22 -0400

This is my friends J. and S.'s beer fridge. I couldn't get a very good picture of it because their furnace was in the way. It's in their basement and they keep a couple of corny kegs of their homebrew in it. Currently it's stocked with a Red and ...
