Take your knitting needles on a plane
Math geek knitting alert! Boring Boring reader Rose has concocted a
pattern for knitting a representation of two-dimensional space. She
writes, "I started out trying to knit four-dimensional space, and that
was really confusing, so I decided to start with something less
ambitious. These samples are just a proof-of-concept; the real one
shouldn't have the border, since it will be infinite. (I figure I'll
start on it next week.)" Photos are here, and if you want
to make your own, here's the pattern:
- row 1: knit across row
- row 2: purl across row
- repeat these two rows
