It’s been about seven months since I released my Noble Cowl pattern (see links to the left) and over TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE have knit it up. How amazing is that? Sometimes I regret not charging for the pattern (poor grad student = always scrounging for $$$), but I love the fact that people like it and are even making multiples. There have been experiments with yarn weight, pattern repeats, length, closures … it’s just so awesome.
Anyway, I really wanted to share some amazing photos from people that have knit up my cowl pattern. Here are my favorites:

With all of Amy Singer‘s talk about ukuleles on Twitter/etc I feel compelled to share this little clip from Scrubs 507, “My Way Home,” the 100th episode of the series directed by Zach Braff.

I suppose I’m on an I LOVE SCRUBS kick right now. I admit that I’m getting a bit nostalgic as the series comes to a close. I’ve been really happy with season 8, particularly THE RETURN OF THE TOTALLY GORGEOUS SCOTT FOLEY. omg. His eyes are just … *ahem* anyway. I also really love The Blanks and Sam Lloyd’s voice. And their covers of pop tunes. Oh yes, there is an article on the music of Scrubs already in the works. I’ll be finishing it up this summer hopefully. I love genre blurring. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.
