The Stunning Symbiosis between Math and Knitting in Scientific American

A notable scientific publication has noticed Japanese temari and its math element!

The Stunning Symbiosis between Math and Knitting in Scientific American published an article by Evelyn Lamb.

"A meeting of the minds at the intersection of mathematics and fiber arts yields eye-popping creations" is the subtitle for the article.

Carolyn Yackel put together a show at a meeting of mathematicians in Baltimore last month. Her "truncated" temari were part of this fascinating exhibit. Congratulations to you, Carolyn!
