Let’s go to the beach and make an aperiodic tiling!

Next part of the layout for the

Yesterday's Granny Life crochet-a-long inspired 2 new "pro tips" for making beautiful squares: 1. Twist the yarns just before the corner 2ch, to make it easier to catch carried yarn later. 2. It helps to make your hdc crochet stitches a little "tall".

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?

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.
