I am having a great time knitting the digestive system. The pattern has a few flaws but they are easy to overcome. It is really interesting to see what comes next and how it is attached to the next. But the wildest was the small intestines. Who knew it was 7 yards long. That’s right 21 feet, or 252 inches long! That is a lot to knit six stitches. So, I remembered when I was little making long long long tubes with a simple loom. Off to Michaels I went and got one. I was able to chain the 21 feet in one day and not pull my hair out while doing it. Here are some update pictures. I am working on the Esophagus it is 12 inches long! Then on to the tongue. All I have left is tongue, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. (Maybe mine had gallbladder surgery and we don’t have one. No I’ll include it because it is the only thing that has some interesting color to it.) The pattern can be found @: “Strange but Trewe”
this is the beginning of the project. I have the Anus and Rectum finished. 
The pink with white lines is the Large intestine.
(you can see the little loom I used at the end).
As you move up the large intestine you get a little bigger and that is the colon. 
Now on to the Appendix. That is that little nob at the end of the colon. Then the 7 yards of small intestine, I just finished the stomach and started the Esophagus. I noticed that all this flows together so you could roll a marble straight on through. (This reminds me of the time Peter swallowed my mother’s Cruifix off her rosary. We went to the ER and they said it should flow on through. The whole time he had it working it’s way down, he would tell people that he had Jesus in his tommy. They would say don’t you mean your heart and he look them straight in the eye and say “Nope, they say he is just about here now” then point! )
The Pancreas, Gallbaldder, and Liver are all add ons to the process. This all interested me as I moved a long so I looked up several sites about the process. Here is a really good one “Your Digestive System and How it Works”. I found the whole thing really great fun!
UPDATE! Finished the project! I think it looks great and was great fun!
