Knitting in the news

Presentations at the 2019 APS March Meeting in Boston, MA led to media interest in our knitting work and the following articles:

The Ins and Outs of Knit Theory by Siobhan Roberts, New York Times - May 17, 2019
The Science of Knitting by Eleanor Hook, Physics Central - April 24, 2019
The science of knitting, unpicked by American Physical Society, Phys.org - March 6, 2019

Interested in non-euclidean spaces? Try them here!

Ever wondered what it would be like to walk around in curved space? Well now you can! Andrea Hawksley, Vi Hart, Sabetta Matsumoto and Henry Segerman have just launched H³ and H²×E as VR simulators of three-dimensional hyperbolic space and two-dimensional hyperbolic space cross the euclidean line.
