“Train better on cats,” the well-known participant in “Operation Y” from the Soviet film of the same name advised his friend. So, it is on cats, mice, frogs and lizards that future doctors and biologists are trained in practical classes at universities. Are you sorry for the mice? Well, this means that you will have to study the structure of the internal organs of animals on knitted exhibits of a curious, but eerie collection of a needlewoman Emily Stoneking, which is called aKNITomy … This lovely young lady, whose hobby is crocheting and knitting, as well as various embroidery, with her own hands "dissects" small animals, exposes the insides of her "victims", and then attaches this material with pins to special boards, framing it all in a neat frame. “Here is a flayer!”, Those who have not yet seen Emily's works will be indignant. And when they see, they probably will not change their anger to mercy anyway.

Frogs and mice (both flying and creeping), hamsters and bunnies, lizards and even earthworms, all of them became objects of the biological exposition of the original needlewoman. Even the Easter bunny did not escape this sad fate - here he is, pinned to the dostochka, and inside he … no, not a heart, a liver, and almost, but embryos of Easter eggs. Probably, in order to represent her knitted "test subjects" as realistically as possible, Emily had to thoroughly study the course of biology and anatomy, and in some places even fantasize, as in the case of the Easter bunny. And we must give her credit - the preparations look very natural, despite the fact that not a single drop of blood was spilled during the work on aKNITomy.

As strange as it may sound, all the exhibits from the aKNITomy series are on sale. Fans of anatomy and all sorts of different horror films can check out the assortment on Emily Stoneking's Etsy page.
