    Please to explain this post -- who? What? Was her name really Ez Bohus? How unfortunate...

    EZ is short for Elizabeth Zimmerman and Bohus Stickning is a hand-knit couture house based in Sweden. EZ is known for her intricate shaping and elaborate color patterns during the 1950s. Basically, she's the Julia Child of knitting. Bohus Stickning specializes in Icelandic knitting techniques like Fair Isle and adds a sophisticated edge to classic hand-knit pieces.

    Hahah Ez Bohus. Now, there's a unique name. If I were obsessed with EZ and Bohus enough, I think I'd consider naming my future daughter that.
