Knitting on the Wild Side

ANANOVA a UK news service
recently published an article
in a section listed as Quickies
that caught the eye.

A student knitted a Ferrari
sportscar for an honours degree.

Oh my!
Talk about knitting
out of the box.

The body consisted of
250 garter stitch squares.
(Family members helped.)

Windows were V shaped
in stockingette stitch.

The badge was embroidered.

The knitting was supported by
a steel frame welded by the student.

God Bless her!

I'm in awe.
I can't even imagine conceiving of the project.
Who would have thought it would garner a degree?
Must reflect the fine line: craftswoman (me) vs artist.

Anyway.
Following the lead of a current ad on TV:
What are you going to do today
that you have never done before?

I'm going to brainstorm
an over-the-top knitting project.

A project ANANOVA Quickie worthy.
