Today I'm putting the finishing touches to "The Hidden Maths of Knitting", my talk at Mathsworld in London next Tuesday (https://mathsworld.com/events/Knitting for tickets). I will be demonstrating an actual working knitting machine in my talk, as well as talking about just a few of the ways maths and knitting are intertwined. It would be great to see some Mastodon buddies there, if only so you can nag me and remind me to toot more regularly!

@alisonkiddle@mathstodon.xyz I did try to persuade my mother that there wasn't a vast amount of difference between her knitting patterns and my computer programs, but she wasn't having it.
