International Year of Astronomy
 

To celebrate the 400th anniversary of the invention of the telescope, 2009 has been designated the international year of Astronomy

it's also the International Year of Natural Fibres

and
THE INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF THE SHARK 2009
http://www.year-of-the-shark-2009.org/

so let's combine them by .....
knitting a cool woollen fluffy dice in the shape of lil'sharks. ...aww then we can hang them off our car mirrors. Now to add the astronomy hmmm?
Then drive our cars off a cliff when we realise we're into astronomy. :P

ps kidding...I love astronomy

We could knit sharks and planets and fashion a windchime-like device (except it wont chime, on account of the planets and sharks being made of wool).



In retrospect, that wasn't a great idea.
