Biology and anatomy students often have the same initial question when they start the dissection portion of the school curriculum: ‘What cognitive side-effects might occur from long-term formaldehyde exposure?’
Having just finished Home Economics class, the immediate second question on their minds might be: ‘How can I combine my love for arts and crafts with science?’ The blog Why would you knit that?! has an answer to both questions:
Thanks to Adam Rutherford for pointing this out.
It’s horribly perverse yet so entertaining! Is it very wrong that I want the mouse one? I do.
Henry’s probably too nice to needle you about this… but his stitch was a tad more timely.
Hehe, that’s punny, Stephen :) You’re right of course, but Henry didn’t have the pictures! Some of us have short attention spans.
I get the point, Stephen. Being 5 hours ahead, it does indeed seem that Henry was able to beat me to the punch, leaving me up knit creek.
My fear is that Henry may be considerably further ahead of all of us than a mere 5 hours…
BTW – you didn’t knit that fetching hat you’re wearing by any chance?
The Eye of Gee Sees All, Knows All. His Gaze Pierces Cloud, Fire, Earth and
GirrafesFlesh.Any more purls of wisdom that you might share with us, Henry?
I see a pattern developing. I was trying to think of a geeky perl joke but like a nit I couldn’t pull the wool over your eyes. You’ve all got me in stitches, it’s a ripping yarn. Please stop ribbing me. I’ll cast off now before I become unravelled.
Henry may have been a few hours earlier, but I blogged about this seven months ago on my other blog and it was on BoingBoing in January .
So on the grand scale of internet, you’re both late to the party.
I would have tried to weave (meh…) in a knitting pun, but Richard used them all up.
Please stop. Thisvdiscussion is giving me the needle, for all that it has the rest of you in stitches.
What, no one’s made a pun around ‘comments thread’ yet?
They’re all too sheepish, Matt.
Going back to Stephen’s comment, I would think that being 5 hours behind Henry would be a good excuse to stop and have a rest, whilst he extends his lead.
Fnar.
(sorry)
