Science and knitting

There is something about science and knitting. I just read the post from Knitting Daily featuring the physicist/knit designer Connie Chang Chinchio (her blog is here). Knitting design is a lot of math and logic, shape and creativity, and knitting in itself keeps your mind going without keeping it occupied (I keep my own focus on the last part). I actually once got an email from my supervisor that said: "don't forget to knit". That was his way of saying, "don't forget to think". Thinking about it, I should knit some more before my vacation starts! :)

To be honest I mainly knit others' designs, with some modifications, even though I have some creations in my drawers originating in my own head (as the sum of my perception of the environment, of course). I need to finish a few of my projects (3 cardigans, 1 skirt and a few "tetraeds" to be exact), then I will look forward to begin the Riding to Avalon hoodie (picture) designed by a physicist (guess who) from Knitscene Fall 2008.
