Crafting by Concepts: Fiber Arts and Mathematics (AK Peters/CRC Recreational Mathematics Series)

Beautifully formatted with ample photos. As a retired math teacher who enjoys knitting and sewing,this book will provide ongoing inspiration for discovering the mathematics in fiber art.

I got this book and Making Mathematics with Needlework for my daughter's college graduation gift. She adores both mathematics and crafting and squealed with joy when she opened the box. Even if she never actually does any of the projects in the book, she is translating the concepts into what she *does* craft: knitted lace. I'd recommend this book for people who love crafts and mathematics and who have the background in reading technical papers.

Crafting by Concepts was purchased as a gift for my wife. One of her hobbies is knitting & crocheting. Upon receiving this book, she has thanked me several times for the gift. She knits a lot of different items and likes to experiment with different techniques and this book appears to have broaden that window of creativity. She likes math and enjoys its applications.

il libro è bello. la parte matematica è interessante, anche se un po' specialistica.i modelli non sono bellissimi. se ne possono trarre buoni spunti, ma da rielaborare, perchè secondo me proprio a livello estetico (scelta dei colori, dei materiali, degli abbinamenti, ecc...) non sono granchè....
