So there are a bunch of people who are astronomers who knit.
I'll call them Astronitters. I guess you could pronounce it "as-TRON-itters" to make it sound sciency and official. I guess I'm one.
Knitting space.
And then there is Cecilia Helena Payne-Gaposchkin, 1900-1979 who, among other things, was described as "...an inspired seamstress, an inventive knitter, and a voracious reader." That and, "Discovered the chemical composition of stars and, in particular, that hydrogen and helium are the most abundant elements in star and, therefore, in the universe."
Not bad.
