Two progress bars, the first showing that 60 of 100 squares are either claimed or completed, and the second showing the 6 of 100 squares have been completed
Granny Life Progress Report! Out of 100 squares needed, 6 are completed and 54 more are claimed and in progress!
Still 40 squares left to claim if you would like to join the cellular automata community crochet math/art project at www.grannylifecrochet.com

If you're going to download my mappy tribute to #OzzyOsbourne that plots his touring history with both #BlackSabbath and as a solo artist be sure to look out for a couple of easter eggs.

This looks so good …
Sadly I can’t make it this year but a great deal just got better!
Aha - yes that genuinely does make sense, thanks @kevinwee.bsky.social!

Math nerds and crafty geeks! You are invited to crochet a granny square based on a cellular automaton for the Granny Life project at www.grannylifecrochet.com.
Your work could end up in an art exhibit in Paris! There are plenty of motifs still available to claim :)

Well, once he’d touched it …

Squares still available!🇫🇷🧶

Just draw the fish. Trust me. 🐟
Yes! Even though I have no idea what it means 🤷♂️

An order 5 hitomezashi snowflake created using Tableau (includes snowflakes of order 1,2,3 within)
NEW: Questions in Dataviz: What is a Hitomezashi Snowflake?
questionsindataviz.com/2025/07/25/w...
Inspired by @mathskath.bsky.social - looking at encoding data as hitomezashi stitching (steganocoding) and creating digital equivalents, before diving into the mathematics of snowflakes.
Ah yes - makes sense!
25.07.2025 21:26 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Also I noticed that the order 3,4 and 5 Fibonacci snowflakes have snowflakes of order 1,2 and 3 respectively in the centre. I wonder if order n always have snowflakes order n-2 in the centre when they're generated via hitomezashi. It would make a kind of Fibonacci sense?

Hitomezashi pattern generated from the name "Neil Richards" in morse code
I started trying to generate hitomezashi using data (e.g. converting names to binary to generate patterns) but my friend Annabelle Rincon has already done this brilliantly: public.tableau.com/app/profile/...
It didn't stop me trying the process myself by converting my name into Morse Code though!
It’s mesmerising, isn’t it?! I take no credit for the design, just the recreation and execution in Tableau. It’s been fun to investigate Hitomezashi stitching - I’ll try and write up a blog post all about it this weekend

My latest visualisation - Hitomezashi Snowflakes. Inspired by @mathskath.bsky.social and her book A Stitch in Line, here's my digital recreation of an order five Fibonacci snowflake (highlighted in white, with smaller order snowflakes in different colours).
Blog post and explanation to follow! 📊
I’m sorry about that - seems the code wasn’t as useful as I thought.
I think the best I can offer is that it is still 20% off and you might be offered an additional 5% off if you leave it in your basket and exit the site. I don’t know how long the 20% off will last.
Apologies for any confusion!
Oh I’m sorry about that - I tested it myself and it worked ok, unless it only works for me? But I didn’t think codes were usually that clever?

Updated my Emily Vanderpoel inspired Wimbledon viz with yesterday's Singles Finals games..
Even an unorthodox design-inspired viz can show how cruel tennis scoring can be. Anisimova may not have registered a single game but did win just over 30% of the total points in Swiatek's 6-0 6-0 win. 📊
Great to see it (and you) back!

These are amazing - I need to learn to crochet! (though entry level Hitomezashi might be more attainable for me). What is the maths behind them?
Reminds me (a little) of my Decimal Walks project
Great choice - it was a 50/50 call between Kryten and Marvin for me!
