Ditto! We just talked about how to make math fun, how to use not-math to teach math, and to give an appreciation of the joys of math - and then you post this. Thanks, Ros! I'm definitely buying this one. :)

Maths and knitting: a match made in heaven!

LOL - but why do you have to spoil a perfectly nice subject like knitting by bringing in maths?! As long as you can count stitches without relying on your fingers and toes, who needs anything more?

I was thinking along the same lines: why spoil a nice subject like maths by bringing in knitting? As long as you can write the equations of a surface, who needs to knit it? :-)
