Knitting Meets Mathematics (everything is connected)
I believe everything is connected. And I love nothing more when I find that two seemingly divergent topics converge. This time it is my new found interest, knitting/weaving, joins mathematics. Huh? Well a mathematics researcher at Cornell, Dr. Daina Taimina, started crocheting to help her students visualise hyperbolic space… "Hyperbolic plane - pseudosphere" The idea has continued to engage and evole - most recently Dr. Taimina’s work was included in an art exhibition in Washington "Not the knitting you know"
- Special thanks to my Mum for the story (you can read more here.)
