Create crochet granny squares for a community math/art project! Our Granny Life motif-generating app can now export printable pattern pages ❤️ www.mathgrrl.com/granny-life @geek @crochet 🧶

Progress Report! Squares claimed and in progress: 86 Squares that have been crocheted: 30 Squares that have been received: 22 Squares attached to the artwork so far: 9 Join the community crochet cellular automaton project at www.grannylifecrochet.com

After trying a lot of local rules for symmetry and other things, in the end I think the best strategy is to make sure things that are close together don’t have colors or patterns that are (1) too similar or (2) too different (?). Thoughts on arrangements? www.grannylifecrochet.com

Thinking about this type of join for the www.grannylifecrochet.com project, what do people think? This is just an extra round of 2hdc clusters with join-as-you-go. #grannylife #crochet 🧶

Neat discovery: Two knots whose connected sum has an unknotting number less than the sum of the unknotting numbers of the knots. This provides a counterexample to an old conjecture.

IFComp has started, and my game, Phobos: A Galaxy Jones Story is part of it! Check out all the games at IFComp.org!

Thanks to everyone at the Illustrating Mathematics week at ICERM who made Granny Life squares this week! Almost 20 now completed!! Get the free pattern and motif generator at www.grannylifecrochet.com

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 #geek #mathart #grannylife #crochet 🧶

Just came across this guy on tiktok who plays connect4 with random people on the street and I know it’s a joke, yet this person is doing more to ground himself in his environment, connect (ha) with the people around him, while getting the people he plays with to take a micro break in their day 🥲

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 :) #mathsky #crochet 🧶

I've signed up for @mathgrrl.com 's amazing #grannylifecrochet project at www.grannylifecrochet.com. I'm not a granny and I've never crocheted but this looks like a great opportunity to take part in mass participation maths algorithm based art. What's not to like? Squares still available!🇫🇷🧶

Great Etsy shop by @clairezagorski.bsky.social, love this window sticker! www.etsy.com/listing/1484...

New free pattern on Ravelry: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... The Pixie Square is a new type of crochet granny square designed for detailed, high-complexity, pixellated motifs. #crochet #crochetgeek #geek #mathart #grannylife #grannylifecrochet #grannysquares

Wrote some code to check when Rule 6 starts repeating; luckily it takes a while, to Generation 1407 -- which then resets all the way back to Generation 1 in the next step! #grannylifecrochet www.grannylifecrochet.com www.mathgrrl.com/granny-life

CALLING ALL CROCHET GEEKS AND GRANNIES Do you want to crochet something that ends up in a mathematical art exhibit in Paris* next summer? Join the project at www.grannylifecrochet.com * We will find out in September if the project makes it into the Paris exhibit

#grannylife gauge check! After four rounds your partial Pixie Square should be just over 2” across, like the photo. If you’re like me then you may have crocheted it too tightly the first time :) Join the Granny Life art project at www.grannylifecrochet.com 🧶

Crocheting Rule 6, Generation 250 on the Amtrak to NYC. Any recommendations for yarn shops there who might know intrepid crocheters and knitters? Looking for ppl to who want to join the project

Granny Life app for making crochet granny squares from 2D totalistic cellular automata motifs is now up at mathgrrl.com/granny-life/ - feedback and questions welcome! (more info on how to join the project tomorrow)

Looking for your artistic feedback about particular totalistic cellular automata rules for crochet granny squares! Which of the following outputs do you like best? (Each is a semi-random selection of 100 generations of a rule-based algorithm) Five designs will be shown in the replies below...

For #MathArtMarch prompt Day 8: pentagons, here is my recently completed crochet granny unsquare blanket. I suppose it would work for the ‘a single line’ prompt, too, since I used a continuous joining method. The only green ends are at the start and finish, the ball ends, and a couple of mistakes. 🧶

Confirmed with a source. Here's a screenshot of the email sent to staff today.
