Pattern: Two feet of DNA (combination of toe-up sock formula from IK Summer 2008 and DNA pattern by June Oshiro)
Needles: 2s
Yarn: Gloss by Knitpicks
I made these for my advisor as a thank you present and gifted them before we left New Mexico.
Incidentally, two feet of DNA is equal to about a third of the DNA within one cell (if it was pulled out straight). Thanks to histones, that DNA gets condensed and packaged into chromatin, which is so teeny-tiny-tiny, it fits into the nucleus of a cell. It sounds like crazy talk, but it's true. Histones are awesome.

Looks like a stairway to heaven to me!
Hey J-
Awesomeness... I hope she loved them.
I'll definitely make you tags. Tell me what you want on 'em and I'll print away.
