Periodic Table of Knitting: Overview

It’s been 2 weeks since I blogged about the project. Just to show you I’m no slacker, this is a screenshot of it now.

Yeah, it needs arranging, doesn’t it? And a bit of final tweaking. And sourcing out for products, that kind of thing. Don’t worry, I’m working on that…

I need help in the category of most influential knitters. Those, past and present, who have made significant contributions to the craft. So far I have Elizabeth Zimmermann, Alice Starmore, Kaffe Fassett, Barbara Walker, Christine Duchrow, and Herbert Niebling. And I know there are more, but I would love to hear who you think should be on the list! Who would be in your top 10 most influential knitters of all time?

I’m happy to say that news of this project has been making the rounds online! (blushes) First was Whip-up!, then Craftzine and The PointCraftGossip featured the cable category, and The Pimpformation Architect featured the knit stitch. This makes the work so gratifying, a personal accomplishment for me, considering that the last two weeks have been really awful. It’s all good now!
