A flat lay image of a knitted colourwork cowl. The cowl is gray, with a knitted purple virus, a purple DNA, and a bright pink molecule. It is shown next to a black calculator and a model of a caffeine molecule

When I saw the Science doodle cowl by Jamie Lomax I knew that this was a must knit, so I decided to make it for #scrapalong2026 🧢

Did I build complex molecule especially for this photo? Lol, yes, I did! And is that Caffeine?! Why, yes, it is! β˜•
