** Daughter's New Knitting Blog

Neat blog. IIRC, one of the science mags (might have been Discovery or
Scientific American) had an article last year on a mathematician who was
also a knitter. She would knit her formulas, thus creating a
three-dimensional form - some of them were very organic. For someone
like me who is very visual and needs to be able to picture something to
be able to understand it, it was very, very interesting.

Before I retired I worked with a chap who had been blind from birth. He
had obtained a decent degree in mathematics thanks to one of his
lecturers who would create cardboard models of graphs & surfaces so that
his student could feel the contours & shapes.

All,

What's a father to do when his daughter works sooooo hard to create a
brand new knitting blog...and nobody has come to visit it yet? Of
course it's wonderful and you all should go check it out.

She is a recent college grad with a math major who would "like to
publish a math paper on the "knittability" of topological surfaces. "
Don't ask me what it means but I'm sure you will all appreciate it.
Sweaters, socks, handwarming creatures...

Great site! I linked to it from the knitting page on my portal-sorta
website:

cross posting is frowned upon on most of usenet.
i'll leave the multiple groups this time only so those who read this wont do
it in future.
geez,

I haven't gone to the blog, but I keep wondering if she has a lot of ads
on there where she gets money for every time someone visits.

I don't see a single ad on the page. Now, I do use AdBlockPlus with my
Firefox, so, I can't swear that there aren't any without looking at page
source, which I'm not going to do.

It is a nice knitting blog, IMNSHO. Rather refreshingly plain layout,
no fancy HTML stuff, nice clear pictures of works in progress or
finished. She does some recycling (actually reusing) of old yarn gotten
by frog-stitching old sweaters, which I think is good. She has some
very intricate lace knitting she's working on....all in all, I enjoyed
the page.

Glad to pass it on. I appreciate a nicely done page, one that doesn't
give me a headache, but does show me something that a real person is
doing, with some indication of the personality behind the page. I like
knitting, and have been doing it in one form or another since I taught
myself in high school. I have gotten a little carried away, and have a
few knitting machines, including 2 1/2 sock machines, and a lot of yarn
that I need to rehome. Or trash. Some isn't really in good enough
condition to use. Pages like this one give me a little push to get on
with it. Not that I actually have, you understand...I'm just feeling
the push. ;-)
