Staceyjoy is rallying Brooklyn knitters, crocheters, sewers (?), and people who just plain love thread, to attend Crocheting the Hyperbolic Plane: A Talk by David Henderson and Daina Taimina, who will discuss "their discovery of crocheted models of hyperbolic space, a geometric
form found in the crenellation of lettuce leaves, the anatomy of sea
slugs, and the shape of the physical cosmos." Venue: The Kitchen, 512 West 19th Street (Between 10th and 11th Aves), NYC, Saturday, February 5th at 5:00 pm. $5. And could you pick up some crenellated lettuce on the way home? Thanks.
