The latest issue of Discover magazine has a three page article about Cornell U professor Daina Taimina who crochets hyperbolic surfaces. Also check out this related article about her work.

There's also a pair of mathematicians in England who crocheted a Lorenz manifold. Here's a preprint of the paper they wrote about it for Mathematics Intelligencer.

sarah-marie belcastro keeps a nice page about mathematical knitting.

It's amazing how we can actually find a way to bridge math with art! Who says the two don't mix? Very interesting! I hope someone bridges the gap between math and everybody else though. Any more related stories about this? Thanks!
