Joy of knitting & the terror of math

http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/roots-of-unity/2014/02/26/knotted-needles-make-knitted-knots/
Is a link to a really interesting article in Scientific American on knitting and math.  I find these types of articles bolstering to my inner child's fear of math and my complete lack thereof..math gave me nightmares in school and can still make me break out in a cold sweat.  So to think knitting which I love can be part of helping show/ explain complex math is wonderful.  Education is a life long study...I just wish I could reach back to that child and reassure her that it will all turn out alright..
