I’ve been so busy on the latest projects this week that I completely forgot to blog about anything, so instead you can have a picture of what I’ve been doing:
I love Science and I love Knitting (capital letters, yes they are THAT important). Thanks to it being the International Year of Science and the wonderful people of the Royal Society of NZ and the power of the internet, I am now part of the Knit the Periodic Table project.
I chose Europium because a lot of the cool elements were already gone by the time I found out about the project, and because I am from Europe (England, for those who don’t know). I was also hoping for the atomic number 42, but it had already gone, so Europium it was.
It’s not hard to knit a square, I had to frog it once as my knitting is so loose that I needed to cast on about 5 fewer stitches than recommended, but other than that it was a simple project. The letters were interesting; I’ve never tried knitting an E or a u before, so it was a learning curve.
My embroidery for the atomic number is passable, but I really should practice a bit more.
I’ve also finished the bed wrap for my Mum, and am ¾ of the way through some gloves for a friend’s daughter.
I may also have a new commission for a Dr Who scarf….watch this space!
