You've heard of #knityourphd but what about #quiltyourphd (I can't knit)? :)

Is this a bit of a stretch re: PhD and quilting? Sure! But I’m ignoring the stretch. 😊

Presenting the pair of socks I made for my personal #KnitYourPhD project! These socks represent data from 2 of my chapters, each down-core diatom-bound nitrogen isotope records from Holocene-aged coastal Antarctic sediment. Stay tuned for a diatom sweater!!

People seem to like my KnitYourPhD socks, so I thought I’d share my first paleo-inspired knit! This blanket represents the benthic oxygen isotope stack, a famous paleoceanographic dataset showing the evolution of global temperature and ice volume over the past 5.3 million years 🧶🌊

One thing bringing me joy during these dark days is my diatom sweater! I designed and knit this sweater as part of my #KnitYourPhD project. The yoke is adorned with Chaetoceros diatoms and the bobbles around the hemline are meant to represent Chaetoceros resting spores 🧶🌊🧪
Photo of a hand-knit light blue sweater, zoomed in on the yoke. The yoke features moss stitch rectangles and cables representing Chaetoceros diatoms Photo of a hand-knit light blue sweater, zoomed in on the bottom hem. Small bobbles are distributed around the wrist and waistband, representative of Chaetoceros resting spores Photo of a white woman with brown hair wearing a hand-knit sweater. The sweater is light blue, has a design intended to look like Chaetoceros diatoms around the yoke, and bobbles around the waistline and wrists

I love this idea so much👇🏼! It’s a bit late for my PhD (it was a lot of years ago & I didn’t knit at the time), but I could do it as defence / viva gifts for my students! Already thinking about ideas 🧐. 🧬 + 🧶, I ❤️ it! It does mean I have a backlog, though. 4th student defends in Dec… #KnitYourPhD
