The Hidden Mathematics of Knitting

When someone mentions knitting it’s unlikely that the first word to spring to mind is “mathematics” but fibre arts such as knitting and crochet have strands of maths woven into their fabric.
Join Alison Kiddle, freelance mathematician, educator and communicator, for a journey through the history, geometry and topology of knitting. Learn how crochet helped visualise complex mathematical surfaces long before 3D computer models and discover the careful computations behind beautiful knitted creations.
