mathgrrl @mathgrrl.com · 21/05/2026Given how fast a circular knitting machine spins, my new guess is that there is only one direction of knitting, in a spiral, and the diagonal strands are running through the knit work? 120

mathgrrl @mathgrrl.com · 07/02/2026121 dots, attach yarn on both sides of each dot. This yarn will secure the corners of the squares to the backing, then weave along the joined edges to secure those too. This work is BORING and tedious. I have completed the yarn setup for one dot; 120 to go 😭 160

mathgrrl @mathgrrl.com · 11/01/2026Finally have the squares split into two halves each with 11 stacks and can start assembly! www.grannylifecrochet.com 2281
mathgrrl @mathgrrl.com · 02/01/2026Hey #JMM2026 find me wandering around or at the Monday night Knitting Circle if you want to crochet a square based on a cellular automaton for a math/art/community exhibit www.grannylifecrochet.com 0375
mathgrrl @mathgrrl.com · 28/12/2025Granny Life update: About 160 squares here, sorting into a two-sided design. Expecting 50 more in the mail soon, need a few more. Deadline now Jan 8 to get a square to me if you want to join the project and have your work be part of an art exhibit in Paris! #math #crochet 🧶www.grannylifecrochet.com 0161
mathgrrl @mathgrrl.com · 11/12/2025Did I spend all day coding instead of doing the things on my long end-of-semester to-do list? Yes. Is my app cooler now? Also yes. mathgrrl.com/simultaneous... 081
mathgrrl @mathgrrl.com · 10/12/2025here is an example of a regular solution (p.s. if you previously used this app then you may need to "hard reload" your browser to see the new search button) 120
mathgrrl @mathgrrl.com · 10/12/2025Granny Life update: The new arrangment will be an 11x11 grid of squares arranged using 11-queens solutions and latin square conditions. I made a little app to find examples: mathgrrl.com/simultaneous... ⚡Also: Still time to claim squares to crochet for this project at www.grannylifecrochet.com ! 194
mathgrrl @mathgrrl.com · 09/12/2025Getting so many squares for the Granny Life project that the piece is now going to be two-sided. Had to make up a new whip stitch to get the attachment right. @crochet 🧶 Still time to claim squares and be part of the art at www.grannylifecrochet.com ! 0100
mathgrrl @mathgrrl.com · 15/11/2025After much resistance I have given in to arranging the piece with colors in a rainbow gradient across the top. The Malabrigo colors are just so beautiful this way! Will shuffle into color chaos by the bottom, I think it is going to work 161
mathgrrl @mathgrrl.com · 13/11/2025Update: 75 squares received and blocked and prepped. 30+ more to me in the mail soon, and lots more claimed. Starting over with the arrangement… 161

mathgrrl @mathgrrl.com · 09/10/2025🎉🧶🇫🇷 The community project "Granny Life" is going to Paris!! The artwork was accepted for the exhibit "Création, entre arts et mathématiques" at Maison Poincaré in Paris. Woooo!!! Join the project and your crochet can go to Paris too! www.grannylifecrochet.com 4435
mathgrrl @mathgrrl.com · 02/10/2025Oops, too much of this green color close together. That’s me working through a nice skein of Malabrigo Rios. Going to pull one or two out and save for later on the piece :) 120
mathgrrl @mathgrrl.com · 02/10/2025Next part of the layout for the www.grannysquarecrochet.com project. Trying to keep things balanced with local strategies: put similar colors a knight’s move apart rather than same row/column, keep similar patterns away from each other, try to bring down bright colors using neighboring colors 4343

mathgrrl @mathgrrl.com · 05/09/2025Ok I think this is going to work! It feels good to have it starting to come together 1120
mathgrrl @mathgrrl.com · 05/09/2025After trying a lot of local rules for symmetry and other things, in the end I think the best strategy is to make sure things that are close together don’t have colors or patterns that are (1) too similar or (2) too different (?).

mathgrrl @mathgrrl.com · 03/09/2025Thinking about this type of join for the www.grannylifecrochet.com project, what do people think? This is just an extra round of 2hdc clusters with join-as-you-go. #grannylife #crochet 🧶 4290
