Knitting, Nuns, and DNA!

Ok, so you never thought these things could actually go together. Well, they do thanks to recent posts on Boing Boing and Wired! As a native New Yorker, educated by nuns in denial of Vatican II, not to mention my being a Nursing student who has survived A&P I and II (the latter in the Summer session!,) I've got two out of three down pat. But for the knitting trifecta I must turn to my wife Angi. She is a knitting knitter, I mean she can knit anything...she can knit a satellite dish, or a chair, or enui! Do you get the sense that given my previous post, I haven't gotten any sleep in a looong time. Well you're right! Here are the links!
