For the next three weekends, you can find my latest work in Coburg House Gallery Shop Spotlight display. The basis for this work is an agar pattern in Conway's Game of Life. It was the subject of new research in 2022. It's all knitted in Aran-weight lambswoolspun and dyed in Scotland.
A collection of knitted accessories displayed on two mannequins, two plinths and a table in a gallery shop setting. Assorted colour combinations of dark blue, pale grey, orange and bright pink in a small all-over repeating pattern. Also display is the cover of issue 5 of the Journal of Scottish Yarn which contains a feature about my mathematical knitting journey.
