Of course, with my deadline for this semesters portfolio looming in less than a week, I not only have the infamous "fear" experienced by many university students around this time of year, but I also appear to be suffering from the apathy and procrastination that serves to strengthen the "fear's" vice like grip....
At least as a result of my procrastination, I have finally got the motivation to start making the graduation scarves that I've been planning!
I saw the pattern for this scarf several years ago and being such a geek knew I had to make one, but as a humanities student I didn't think it would be socially acceptable for me to wear one.... Fortunately I have some rather geeky plant science friends who would delight in helping me out there
So luckily for them, I am making two of these, both displaying parts of the sequence for a particular type of Begonia that was grown in the botanic gardens where they are both working!
I want to make backs for these as well so you don't see the mess on the back of the work, so I have a lot of knitting to do before June 26th when they graduate. I can't wait until May 21st when I hand in my last assignment and can be stuck to my needles until these are done!
Wish me luck!

that is so cool, the colours in the DNA for the different bases!
ReplyDeleteI could never have lived with myself if I hadn't tried to knit a real sequence, but here's a secret, I was working on it late at night (always a bad idea) and I mixed up a base pair shhhh! They'll never know! (I hope...)
