Granny Life update: About 160 squares here, sorting into a two-sided design. Expecting 50 more in the mail soon, need a few more. Deadline now Jan 8 to get a square to me if you want to join the project and have your work be part of an art exhibit in Paris! #math #crochet 🧶www.grannylifecrochet.com

Did I spend all day coding instead of doing the things on my long end-of-semester to-do list? Yes. Is my app cooler now? Also yes.

Can you find 11 simultaneous 11-queens solutions? I wrote a little app to search for them. There are regular solutions (each row shifted), but I'm looking for one that is more interesting. Maybe it doesn't exist? Press the button and see if you can find it :)

Granny Life update: The new arrangment will be an 11x11 grid of squares arranged using 11-queens solutions and latin square conditions. I made a little app to find examples: mathgrrl.com/simultaneous...

Getting so many squares for the Granny Life project that the piece is now going to be two-sided. Had to make up a new whip stitch to get the attachment right. @crochet 🧶

@mathgrrl.com I’m enjoying making squares for the Granny Life Project. Here’s a diagram that I made of what the basic stitch layout looks like if you want to make your own design, or if you want to color in what you’ve crocheted as you go along for your Granny Life square.

My job is assembly, so today I am learning about braided fishing wire and how to tie fishing nets. Hoping to incorporate a strong net grid into the project. It's going to weigh about 15-20 pounds!

My friend showed me this daily web game: Which Year? It shows five photos, and you have to guess the year for each one. You can get four free digits with no penalty, but each digit can be used only once (in other words, you can get the thousands, hundreds, tens, or ones each only once). whichyr.com
Which Year - Photo Year Guessing Game
Guess the year real-world photos were taken. Test your history knowledge with a daily challenge featuring a new set of photos each day.

Next part of the layout for the www.grannysquarecrochet.com project. Trying to keep things balanced with local strategies: put similar colors a knight’s move apart rather than same row/column, keep similar patterns away from each other, try to bring down bright colors using neighboring colors

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? www.grannylifecrochet.com
