I have a severe case of a common knitting-related malady - Gotta-have-itis. At last night's meeting of LFP knits, I decided I'd have to make a cabled handbag. This morning, I came across this pattern for a knitted gastrointestinal system. I think this is the only pattern in existence that I can pass off as work-related. Ever since I saw the pattern for the knitted uterus on Knitty, I have been mulling the idea of designing a knitted pancreas. My dissertation project is on pancreatic cancer, so a knitted pancreas seems apropos. But why stop with a pancreas, when you can knit a tongue, anus, and everything in between. I already cleared a space on my bookshelf. Now I have to call my LYS and ask if they have any esophagus pink in stock.
