Althea Crome Merback started knitting in college but when that wasn?t challenging enough, she took up ?extreme knitting?- knitting on a miniature scale! She now makes socks, gloves and more on a 1:12 scale and even some sweaters on a 1:144 scale! To make them that small, Althea knits with a 0.009? wire! To check out more, visit www.bugknits.com.
