ask and you shall recieve. Knit Fractals:
http://www.ylem.org/artists/ekent/index.htm

from one of my bookmarked sites on 'geek knitting' (if you want more i won't inflict them on the general public again, you can send me a PM or email and you too can read about how to knit a klein bottle hat, or how to turn ascii code into a knitted patterns (complete with link to a perl script you can download to do the math --if you're not total proficient in hex to binary, and then from binary one's and zero's to knitted knit's and purls.)or about how to teach many math concepts with knitting. (its great stuff)

i could also show you a links to images of geo-tectonic plate movement (knitted, of course, into a scarf for a geologist. )

the double helix of DNA has also be done as knitting pattern (and made the cover of NATURE magazine.)as part of a Phd work! (talk about understanding the relationships of the bonds!)

and dr bill sent me reminder about Venus of W. with a link to info about her. (the carving of the image seems to indicate she is wearing woven cloth, (she is not naked) and her 'hair' isn't hair but some sort of head covering..

my latest interest is in anoltolian style socks. (which are extremely similar to Latvian style mittens..) the general theory is: North/south trade routes (the Volga and other rivers) brought northern russian (and other tribes/groups) into contact with turkish/islamic culture, and turkish style socks HEAVLY influenced the styles and patterns knit in the far north. (google Anna Zilboorg for more info)

Most knitters freely admit they suffer from a Obsesive/ compulsive disorder.. (gee, me obsessed? i dunno...)


my other obsession
