Who would have thought that frog innards could look cute or the periodic table could seem cosy?
Throw away your ideas of cold and clinical science as Discover Magazine take you into a world where knitting and stitching meet biology and zoology with their collection of knitted science.
Items features in their gallery include Emily Stoneking's disturbingly cuddly knitted frog with his organs akimbo, Karen Norberg's knitted brain and the Institute for Figuring's Crochet Coral Reef.
Lab-coated nerds with needles, we applaud you and your scientific stitching.

If you're a regular reader, you probably noticed some time ago that we haven't had comments enabled on the site for some time. Too bad if you've been itching to tell us about your exciting new Etsy shop or exactly how sick you are with owl motifs.
I've tried to get around the problem using various methods, but finally accepted that there's only so much you can say in a poll. So today's good news is we've now got comments back again, so you can bend our ears to your heart's content. And to celebrate this momentous event, here's a collection of crafty goodies made from another of those much-used motifs: the speech bubble!

The mercury's rising, and after the hottest day of the year yesterday, Brits are stripping off and bearing their sun-deprived bodies to all and sundry. Lucky for us, crafters are taking the opportunity to produce summery fare that's far more easy on the eye.
