I bet that you didn't realise that you were mathematical geniuses, social changers and artists all at the same time did you?
nice article

Dunno about that I just enjoy doing it. )t'

When I was younger I used to work out fairisle for the childrens jumpers or do scenes, motorbikes or dogs ect. But those days are gone.
I now prefer to knit intricate patterns designed by someone else. )grin2(

We knew, you didn't :-D

Thanks for the link - I made a hyperbolic crochet 'thing' ('thing' is the highly technical mathematical genius name for it, clearly) for my nephew when he was born. He's too little yet for us to tell if he is a mathematical genius, but if he is, then I will gladly take the credit for sparking an early interest in the subject )t'

Related, but only sort of. I remember reading an article about the mathematical ability evident in early patchwork and quilting designs, made, in many cases, by 'uneducated' women.

I never doubted for a minute that we were all brilliant. )grin2(
