Letter: Poloneck pedagogy

Published 24 June 1995

From Brian Dalton

Re Feedback’s selection of items bringing together the disciplines of science and knitting (27 May): I am delighted to hear that there is a pattern for a knitted uterus. I used to lecture my Pregnant Mums classes in a polonecked sweater, as I found it an acceptable illustration of the way the uterine cervix allows the descending baby’s head to pass; as I got older it was necessary to apologise and ask the audience to imagine me upside-down.
