Pack Rat Magazine is turning it up to 11!

If you like regular knitting, then how about micro knitting? Does that do anything for ya? Althea Crome is a knitting artist who decided to go EXTREME with Bug-Knits, miniture knitting that results in gloves, jackets and more that fit in the palm of your hand, some which are so small that they are less than the size of a dime. This tiny knitting is 1:144 the size of traditional knitwear. Don’t believe me? Peep it below.

This is what Crome has to say about the process:

“I have been particularly inspired by the olympics this summer–amazed to see so many things in common among the athletes. A sense of human curiosity and an unstoppable desire to test their personal limits. But beyond a personal goal so many willingly struggle through almost unbearable physical strain to answer a universal curiosity “how fast, how long and how far can you go?”

Curiosity is what made me see if I could use a .009″ wire to knit these tiny 1:144 scale cardigans (this is dollhouse for a dollhouse scale). There are approximately 80 stitches per inch. Nano-knitting is not on the Olympic roster yet, but but perhaps we can at least get it into the Guiness books!”
