I feel as though the intersection of #mathstodon and #knitting will say, "yes of course", but it's still an enjoyable passage.
"knitting, at its core, is a method of transforming a one-dimensional strand of yarn into a structured, flexible two-dimensional sheet, which can then fold itself into complex three-dimensional shapes. The researchers realized that this transformation could be described mathematically using the same principles that govern how surfaces curve in space."
