Building on the success of the popular collection Making Mathematics with Needlework, mathematicians and crafters sarah-marie belcastro and Carolyn Yackel present this colorful and varied collection of fiber art project instructions and mathematical explorations. There is something in this book for everyone from crafters to mathematicians to educators and students. Each chapter presents an accessible overview of the mathematics related to its craft project(s), as well as detailed instructions for the project. Further detailed discussions of the mathematics are also included, as well as suggestions for how to use the material in educational settings of all levels. This book has a lot to offer for mathematicians and non-mathematicians, presented in a beautifully illustrated and well-organized volume.

Praise For Making Mathematics With Needlework

"...the first book to combine mathematical ideas with instructions for fabric arts projects that make abstract math problems tangible. The authors are all mathematicians and crafters who provide instructions on how to wear a passion for math on your sleeve, pant leg, head, or feet."---Science News

"Yackel and belcastro have created an excellent synthesis, one that offers enough ideas to keep geeks (of both the crafty and mathematical varieties) busy with needles and yarn, pencil and paper, for years to come."---American Scientist

"Almost any reader will learn about both art and mathematics in this well-organized and amply-illustrated book."---Mathematical Reviews

Industry Reviews

I stumbled over this book and simply had to buy it ! The authors' interest is in linking mathematics and craft ! --Cally Booker, chairman of the Journal for Weavers, Spinners and Dyers, on her blog, August 2011 The editors have collected nine projects from various authors and have presented them attractively in this beautiful book. ! The book is wide-ranging, covering many mathematical topics and many craft ideas. ! This book would be a great present for a mathematician interested in craft or a craft enthusiast open to thinking about mathematics. --Vicky Neale, Plus magazine, August 2011
