I was just recently asked my a non-knitting friend "Why knitting, what drew you into loving it so much?" And strangley enough after only a momements hestitation my answer was "The Math". Which then lead to discussion that only other knitters or nerdy accountants like me would realy enjoy. Good luck with your new blog and keep the math coming :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247041473543489861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559098348347951929.post-23332232805899395722010-01-28T14:59:17.552-08:002010-01-28T14:59:17.552-08:00Kael: I like it!
