I’m curating an exhibition of Mathematical Art at the Australian Mathematical Society meeting in December. If you’re coming to the meeting and you create art with mathematics, please think about being involved. More information to appear at the conference website.
On Tuesday I go to sewing class (learning to use a sewing machine, which is a skill that I didn’t acquire along the way but better late than never) and once a month that is followed by knitting night. It’s a great day!

Went to check on my crocheted Lorenz manifold b/c I was nearby. The space had been renovated and it was gone! 🤯 Thank you so much to the person who squashed it into a storage space because they thought it was probably special to someone. It’s a sad sight but at least I have it.

I’m accepting EOIs until November 9. Very nice submissions so far but room for more.

So I decided to make the labels for the artworks in the exhibition of mathematical art at the Australian Mathematical Society conference...using LaTeX.

Cool today, but unmistakably Spring. Lunch with Ms 18 in Carlton. When I was a student at Melbourne University, I would sometimes meet my mum for lunch.

Drove past the house I first bought back in 1993, and which was, when we sold it 11 years ago, almost 100 years old. It is no more: garden, Edwardian weatherboard house, tiled fireplaces, new roof ..., all flattened. Sure it needed more done to it than we had done, but I am a bit sad today.

Yesterday I did a walkthrough of the rooms for the AustMS conference and chose the space for the inaugural art exhibition. (This isn’t it; this is the tearoom, where we enjoy this work from the university’s art collection.)

I thought that it was high time I learnt to use one of the 2 sewing machines I have inherited. Didn't ever learn to use one at school, or from my mum. I am going to classes, which are "after school" for the other members. So far, I have made a wonky trivet and an excellent wheat bag. 1/2

Explained positive and negative skew of data to Ms 18, who is accustomed to my style of maths explanations, which often uses everyday language and examples. Her final question was “But what are the tails really called?”

According to a statement from my publisher, there’s another 52 copies of A Stitch in Line out in the world. Thank you 🙏 so much for buying and reading it. Please tag me if you make something in hitomezashi 🪡 using ideas from the book 📖. I would love to see it.

I thought Ms 18, who has voted in an election, has a part-time job and can sort of drive a car, might be up for eating a minor variation on something she has eaten before. No. The answer is no. Whatever was I thinking? etc.
