Crocheted

With only the dramatic art of Lease Agreements
to tether my mind, my thoughts flew away to the
mathematics of crafts – coral reefs are crocheted,
the atmosphere is knit and some even fold a stop
sign into a pair of pants - at the intersection of
math and handicraft

Confirming my suspicion that the fine art of knitting
cables in multicoloured, many-layered wool - can be
used to represent - Many Worlds Theory!

Quoted:

“Welcome to the intersection of math and handicraft.
Unexpectedly, handicraft in general, and yarn work in
particular, has started to help provide answers to
mathematical problems. From the way the atmosphere
generates weather to the shape of the human brain, knit
and crocheted models have provided new insight into
the geometry of the natural world.

"Crochet, knitting and other crafts allow people to
visualize, recontextualize and develop new problems
and answers," said Carolyn Yackel, a mathematician
at Mercer University in Georgia”.
