Oh, this is so much fun. My favorite topic - knitting.
There is research out there that lifelong knitters live longer than the rest of you people.

...you get to stab things with sharp needles over and over and over! and no one gets hurt!
Try needle felting, and you can go in three dimensions.
But you may draw some blood until you get the technique down. Still relaxing fun.

As The Bible says, we are laterally knit together in the womb.

Maths and Knitting: Fibonacci Day
What happens when mathematical equations meet beautiful knitting patterns? Discover mesmerizing projects designed using Fibonacci sequences!
The Fibonacci spiral, also known as the Golden Spiral, is a numerical pattern that was first identified in the Western world by Italian mathematician Fibonacci.
The sequencing sees numbers, starting from 0 1, advance with the next number being the sum of the last two. For instance, [0 + 1] 1, [1 + 1] 2, [1 + 2] 3, [2 + 3] 5 and so on

Thanks i miss her
I know how you feel.. I lost my mom 17 years ago.. I think of her every day. She is greatly missed. The only consolation is she didn't have to go through 9/11 and the following PC insanity that insued.

I love it when scientists try to explain what Grandma knew without words. That's the difference between science and engineering, and craft. The scientist will provide a theoretical explanation of what the craftsman knows but does not fully understand. The engineer will take that theory and expand the technique in ways the craftsman would never have dreamed.
