I found a link in one of my online knitting communities about knitting and math.
I've only read a short bit, but it looks like a great way to physically teach higher math concepts. You might enjoy the read even if you aren't a knitter or math teacher. It's interesting to think about the concepts that blow our minds being easily replicated in the physical world with nothing but yarn and a hook or pair of needles. I'm sure if I was shown how to do this by a math teacher, I would get the math concept. It's making a connection to a literacy I already possess.

Hi Lacey, I find it quite amazing the ways in which one aspect of literacy is quite literally related to other aspects of literacy, just as you pointed out here with the relationship to needlework and math! Literacy links are such an amazing thing to consider....at least in my opinion. Thanks for sharing this from your perspective. BJ
