Guest guest Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 I'm glad I'm not the only knitting geek on the list! (how is it, btw, that the larger size has *fewer* stitches?) I was thinking felted balls of varying sizes would make lovely fibroids; you could make two of these, one to fit inside the other, and shove the balls in between the layers to show submucosals and intramurals. Pedunculated fibroids could be attached with a chrocheted chain....I'll have to try this while recovering from my surgery... --Lee --On Tuesday, January 06, 2004 9:19 PM +0000 uterinefibroids wrote: > You crack me up.
