Biology Week 2016 – Knitting Bomb

Thought I would add some context to this post 😁. In 2016 I organised a biology themed knitting bomb with a group of staff and students at Teesside Uni. The event took place during the Society of Biology “Biology Week 2016”. We had lots of amazing contributions – some pictures below … warning this was prior to my social media days so these are proper old school and not glamorous!! The fab Helen Hodgson (Senior Technician Analytical Chemistry) knitted the brain – my favourite piece.

Some of these pieces are from published patterns as follows:

Blue Tit, Caterpillar and Shell were from the amazing book “75 Birds, Butterflies & Beautiful Beasties to Knit & Crochet” by Lesley Stanfield

Chromosomes, DNA, Agarose Gel are my own designs.
