Ultimately  I’m a geek. A Star Wars loving, model ship building, video game playing, graph paper drawing geek. So, when I saw the Golden Spiral (pictured) posted on Ravelry this morning I was immediately drawn by its coolness factor. As I followed the pattern to its original website, I went into geek overload.

Woolly Thoughts is a site by designers Pat Ashforth and Steve Plummer. But they are more than just designers, they are mathematical fiberists. The crochet and knit designs they create are based on mathematical formulas. I ask you, how often do you get to see an afghan based on Sierpinski’s Closed Peano Curve? Or a pillow that shows a Baravelle Spiral?

Nurture your inner Geek by exploring their wonderful gallery which also leads to a page that explains the mathematics behind all the designs. Do you feel like taking on a project yourself? They have patterns for sale too!
