Knitting and nostalgia

Pattern and name of designer withheld to protect the innocent.

And while I'm at it, over spring break I found an envelope labeled "Drawings from Andy." Here are a few of the sketches, which I think are adorable; hopefully they won't embarrass you too much, bro. We were all there at one time! These are, I believe, in chronological order.




If any of you were around for the Rambo phase, you will recognize that last one as the incomparable "survival knife." I know some of you will recognize the pharmaceutical company note-pad paper ever-present in doctors' families.
