Moth is not a four-letter word for UK knitter, Max Alexander!

Moth is not a four-letter word for UK knitter, Max Alexander!

Max Alexander‘s knitted moths are incredible – I am simply blown away. LOVE! I also like the irony of using wool to knit moths – normally that combination strikes fear into the heart of every knitter/crocheter I know!

    Fantastic! The biologist in me also wants to point out that no moth eats wool – a few caterpillars do, but not of the moths shown here, so enjoy them without feeling conflicted. I so wish I had thought of this first!
