Save Us, Sully! ;)
Interesting that knit material has not been studied in this fashion before.
Kool!
Thanks for posting.
But just pull one little string and it all unravels.
My mom could knit like a mofo she could knit smoke and drink and watch Red Skelton and still catch me teasing my twin sister
Scientists thoroughly understand Global Warming, and know exactly how much the seas will rise in 100 years.
And, oh yeah, we’re also beginning to understand that “knitting” stuff too ...
During the industrial revolution, different types of complex knitting machines were invented for socks, underwear, just about everything. Then they came up with a home knitting machine, but I didn’t persist to get the hang of it. I prefer to knit by hand but need instructions or diagrams. Some people can just cast on some stitches and make about anything on the fly.
Haha.. God bless her! They don’t make moms like they used to!
Thanks for reminding me to start my Christmas gifts! Heh.
Bendiness? Is that the new scientific term for flexibility?
Don’t cast your pearls before the turbine.
Last week: why do water drops make a sound when they land?
This week: why is fabric knitted from stiff fibers stretchy?
Next week? The suspense is killing me.
Somebody smart once said, "Does the ornithologist teach the bird to sing?"
Because the real, underlying kick to knitting or sewing is that you get to stab things with sharp needles over and over and over! and no one gets hurt! Great stress reliever at the end of the day.
Very clever! But it should be ‘purls.’ ;)
I was doing some Thrift-Store shopping today - there is SO MUCH Christmas cr@p out there, that our local shop has started to have ‘Christmas in July.’ Saints Preserve Us! ;)
But I know what you mean - if I don’t have my Christmas Gifts bought or made by October, I’m being a slacker! :)
Heh. It starts earlier each year.
My family has gone two ways - once the Grandkids were all surly teens, we adults decided that we would NOT give gifts among extended family members. I mean, there were 13 Grandkids, and then 2 (or more with Steps and Ex’s) adults per kid, so it was just ridiculous.
Anyhow, each family threw $50 in the kitty and then those of us that wanted to would give a little talk about which Charity our cash would go to that year. (Between us, we had $1K to donate!)
We donated to Juvenile Diabetes the year one of the Grandkids was diagnosed. We built a well in Africa. We gave to The Wounded Warriors and one year to the very rural Nursing Home where one of the SILs worked and they needed basic supplies - like TP and tissues!
My immediate family has gone ALL consumables (food, candles, personal care items) or Gift Cards. No one needs more, ‘stuff’ in our family.
Besides, when one of us dies, we get back all the previous JUNK we’ve given one another through the years, LOL!
God Bless Us, Every One! :)
Mr. RightField tells people that I knit so I don’t kill people.
Thanks i miss her
