GENEie Video

April 22, the date of the March for Science, is only a couple of weeks away.  I am marching to support evidence based legislation, science education for children and science outreach for adults.  I believe that government science funding is fundamental to advancements in medicine, technology and knowledge.  If you are a follower of ChemKnits, you've seen me share many of my DNA based designs, the GENEie Collection.  I created a video to talk a bit about each of the different designs and the techniques that go into them.

I have published many different science themed knitting patterns here on ChemKnits.  However, there is a collection of patterns that I've created specifically for the March:

• The GENEie Collection of Knit Hats and Headbands (featured in the video).  Plasmid, a cable DNA headband is not shown in the video.  
• Spliced GENEie - an DNA applique headband applied to a crochet headband base.  The embellishment is created out of appliqued crochet chains and then embroidered base pairs.
• Ice Cap Headband - featuring ordered, stylized water molecules
• Duplicate Stitch Molecules - I have been designing molecule knitting charts for years.  I released a pattern for a generic stockinette headband with ribbed edges so you can incorporate the molecule knitting chart of your choice into a headband.  Some examples are the Dopamine Molecule Headband and the Glucose Molecule Headband.

Please continue to tag me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram as you're working on your own GENEies.  I love to see your works in progress!
