the ceph

here's the first of a few designs i finished recently! this one's named the ceph for the evolutionary trend of cephalization, where nervous tissue becomes more concentrated on one end than on the other, which eventually forms a head with a brain. it's one of my favorite things to mind when designing simple creatures, as it's something that causes the area of interest and the line of symmetry in things to change.
anyway, went with my current simple favorite k1 p1 type pattern, which works a lot for what this is. it's really beautiful to me how such simple things like the knit and purl stitch have the potential to create very interesting, detailed knitwear.
