Crocheting
the Lorenz Manifold by Hinke M Osinga and Bernd Krauskopf
- The Lorenz
attractor is the best known image of a chaotic or strange attractor. We are
concerned here with its close cousin, the two-dimensional stable manifold of the
origin of the Lorenz system, which we call the Lorenz manifold for short. This
surface organizes the dynamics in the three-dimensional phase space of the
Lorenz system... Read about it in

Real Men Knit
by Dawn Goldsmith
- The knitted six-inch, perfect square
boasted a delightful geometric pattern beginning with a knitted center diamond...
"You made this?" I asked. "What did you use for yarn?
For needles? Where did you get the pattern?" He shrugged, more interested
in finding a snack than discussing the potholder. "I found a cone of string at
work, and that's what I used for yarn."

String and
Air

Knitting is a medium that provides endless depths for exploration and discovery.
The dimensions are fiber, structure, texture, and color. The results are
as varied as imagination...
- Wooly Thoughts
- We are designers of mathematical knitwear. Or perhaps we are mathematical
designers of knitwear. Whatever you want to call us, many of our designs are
simple geometric shapes combined to make elaborate patterns. We are
mathematicians at heart and so most of what we do has a mathematical basis.
This may not always be obvious and it doesn't explain the cartoons and
word-play which often creep in...
