"You can see very naturally how the 'rippling' effect of the cerebral cortex emerges from properties that probably have to do with nerve cell growth.
"In the case of knitting, the effect is created by increasing the number of stitches in each row."
I love her. I love her so much.
I want to knit a hypothalamus to cuddle, now.

Is there a pattern? I'd teach myself to knit for this, just so I can make one as a hat. And if that works, I'll go into business.
My Etsy store will be called "YAAAAAAAAARNS".
