Tamum....the DNA scarf makes some progress

I took it with me to Disney, but forgot the pattern!

Went to the chemo appointmemt today and have now sucessfully completed one repeat. The first time I tried it I made a mistake and had to un pick the darned thing!

It is very compelling, and is a very suitable 'knit' for the onology department!

Good news today BTW, comparative scans show that all tumours have shrunk!

Ermm no, don't worry, we'll be fine, honest

I thought of you today- ds has to do a talk about anything he likes for English, with audio and visual props, so he is doing The Goodies and taking in a DVD so they can all watch "How to make babies by doing dirty things". I knew you'd be as proud as I am

DNA made of Lego

"I'm sure it would be possible to rig up a cuddly one of these , wouldn't it? "

hmmm sounds like a challenge...is it the sort of thing first time mums go for, do you think?

He gets to take in a DVD of the Goodies for an English lesson. By 'eck, times have changed...

Yes, it's phage Pruni- it would make an excellent jumper, though not exactly HIV I know. Actually there are some great pictures here , they could be adapted to make bobble hats

I wasn't sure that that particular DVD would be deemed suitable, but he assures me that his Emglish teacher is very broad-minded, and let them watch Meet The Parents.

This thread gets more and more surreal by the second, doesn't it?

Have you seen those soft toys that are microbes and virii and nasty uggy-buggy things (that last is a technical term, don't worry if you haven't heard it)? You could do knitted versions of those.

Tamum · 27/02/2007 19:15

I have, they're great. I guess you learnt all that about uggy wuggys from your dh, did you?

marthamoo · 27/02/2007 19:15

Sorry - dh says "viruses" not virii (I hate it when he reads over my shoulder).

marthamoo · 27/02/2007 19:16

I wonder who you would give a stuffed Ebola virus to? Or syphillis?

marthamoo · 27/02/2007 19:18

"Please have this gonorrhea toy as a small token of my affection."

(I don't think I spelled that right)

Tamum · 27/02/2007 19:20

Shall I mention my toy chlamydomonas again?

marthamoo · 27/02/2007 19:22

Does it look like this?

Tamum, you are such a brag!

Almost exactly, but all the organelles are made of felt and are suspended in a clear plastic bag thing

ScummyMummy · 27/02/2007 19:24

Great news that the tumours are shrinking and the scarf is growing.

marthamoo · 27/02/2007 19:25

Sounds cute. For an uggy-buggy thing.

ScummyMummy · 27/02/2007 19:30

Well I never... I'm sure one of my partner's Hawaiian shirts is decorated with the Hepadna virus.
