Again?

These are not edible, Rob. (image (c) LuckyJenny.net)

So, I'm just sitting here checking a few of my crochet-related web favorites, preparing for a night of manic, ninja-esque crochet in an effort to finish some more squares for the big afghan I'm working on (you know the one - the one I'm not taking pictures of yet).

My friend, Rob, stopped by for a visit. We talked about our days, a few different topics here and there....

As he gets his laptop out and I am surfing around on mine, it was only  natural the topic of my blog arose.

skyrim dog copyright banana numbers what?!?!?!

I have mentioned briefly in a video I posted on YouTube (subscribe if you haven't... I sometimes ramble about good crochet related topics and show off yummy yarn and projects) about having a giveaway to celebrate my first Google Adsense payout. Personally, I would love to one with every payout as a thank you for getting the payout (ya know, clicking on ads, watching YT videos, etc) - I only receive the money because I have people viewing my content and checking things out. So - why should I be the only person to benefit from the check? Anywhoozles, I'll be a bit more in depth with that when I do the giveaway.

BUT the purpose of this post isn't to talk about the giveaway....

Oh Boy..... things just got more bleak for the man

So.... the man has true fear now. Yes - he is afraid, and rightfully so.

Crochet Mathematics: Chaos

(c) Wikipedia

This is probably a pretty cool design you've seen on a t-shirt, perhaps while perusing thinkgeek.com (one of my favorite geek-gear websites). But what is it? Whelp, I'm here to tell you AND show you how it can be represented through crochet.

In 1963, Edward Lorenz, a meteorologist, introduced the Lorenz attractor which was a form derived from the simplified equations of convection rolls arising in the equations of the atmosphere.

And you say... huh?

Me too - and this is where the research begins.

This isn't so much a tutorial rather than a walk-through in understanding the creation process of crochet filet - or at least how I make basic filet designs.
