I hope I’m not stealing this from our knitting blogger, but over the past few years, I’ve found some very interesting knitting patterns online. Today I found kniitting patterns for:
•
Tuberculosis
•Cholera
•Salmonella
•Common Cold
•Swine Flu
•Penicillium
They’re available on the Manchester Science Festival 2009 blog.
Or if you’re more into knitting body parts, here are a couple for you:
One could make a bunch of (very bad) jokes about getting enough fiber into our body, or we can see how we can begin to unravel when we get too stressed, but I’ll avoid those pathetic attempts at humor. 
I’m wondering why someone would do this, but I can also see that it could be fun and challenging to come up with something that looks relatively realistic. Have you ever come across some interesting body parts that have been made out of craft work?
