I may have just knitted an itty bitty kitty for Sir. It is made out of cotton and cashmere yarn and it adorable.
All these things and more were within a 5 foot radius of me without me leaving my room. As you can see we have covered gaming, knitting, chainmailling, BDSM, and sex toys. In a few cases these things have merged. Like the Lelo Ina rabbit vibrator that is covered in chainmaille. Not for sexual use anymore. Yes that is my personal dicebag. It is pink with a Hello Kitty head on it. I broke the thong not long ago and have been a lazy bum and haven’t gone out to buy a new one. The bondage gear is from the Sub-shop. I haven’t see my long distance fiance since I bought it so the tags are still on the flogger. The necklace on my psp? That is from Kumacrafts. She makes baller things, go look her up. That particular necklace is based on Sailor Moon’s final transformation brooch in the manga. I will give you 5 bonus points if you realized that the material under all of this is liberators microfiber. It isn’t a throe though. It is a king sized duvet cover of the material that they had on sale for a very limited run. All my shapes stick to my duvet and I can secure the duvet almost anywhere. I still need to buy a throe.
So basically my gender has nothing to do with my hobbies and it shouldn’t. Don’t judge me saying that I am female and therefore don’t like sex, don’t game, can’t be a super nerd. I covered my dildo in chainmaille. I’m pretty sure that tops most people’s nerd meters right there.
Psychiatrist Dr Karen Norberg, of the National Bureau of Economic Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts knitted this awesome, anatomically correct replica of the human brain.
Using different colour to represent different parts of the brain, it took Dr. Norberg one year to complete her project. She used yarn because she thought “the wool lent itself to creating the right “rippling” effect for parts of the brain and was easier to manipulate than other materials.”
The frontal cortex is cream and pale green, the visual cortex a mix of blue, purple and turquoise while the hippocampus is made up of baby pink wool. The two sides of the nine inch brain - one and a half times life size - are joined together by a zip with the cerebellum knitted in blue and spinal cord trailing off in white strands of wool.
According to Dr Norberg the project was a labour of love:
“For me, there were two humorous aspects. One was simply to undertake such a ridiculously complex, time consuming project for no practical reason. The second was the idea of making a somewhat mysterious and difficult object - a brain - out of a ‘cuddly’, cheerfully coloured, familiar material like cotton yarn.”
The wonderful woolly brain is currently on display at the Boston Museum of Science.
