Sometimes I wonder, am I the only one that ponders about the connection between craft and academics?

Or is it just a complete flight of fancy?

Despite all the different theories I have that may or may not be valid, I still am in awe of the way that even the simplest knitted piece of cloth can hold such a sense of beauty.

Nothing fancy or complicated, just knit one row, purl the next, held up to the light.

And how amazingly similiar to a generalized plant cell at 200x magnification.

And sometimes there’s nothing more beautiful than simple.

Or maybe I’m just a weirdo for seeing the connection.
