how knit 2 became knit squared

When I originally began thinking about knitting for my thesis, I thought I would just knit a quilt. I would experiment with different stitch patterns that I'd never used before, and have a memory blanket at the end of it. I thought I would perfect my skills. And then we had our first critique. The idea was presented that I could knit a room. Suggestions for pieces of furniture followed and the wheels in my head began turning. How could I knit a whole room? What could I cover in knitting? Could I cover the walls, a chair, a lamp, and a bookshelf of books in knitting? What would it look like? This has become my new mission.
