Update: Knitted Virus






I mentioned in an earlier blog that I wanted to attempt a knitted virus, so I've done some more searching into what had already been done.






Here are some fabulous virus doilies

They are based on images of viruses and made by sewing machine






She really captures the intricate beauty of the viruses.






I found a couple of other pictures that look sort of like knitted balls covered in bumps.






Most of what I found are based on pictures of viruses, and I would like to work from the protein structure of it, which I think would fit in nicely to my modular style






but first I need to finish this project:
hopefully it will eventually look like this, but more knitty:
