I've been making slow progress on Doug's afghan. It's based on a fibonacci sequence, and in UMCP colors -- appropriate for my soon-to-be-Terp geek son!
For those of you, like me, who are math impaired: 4+4=8, 4+8=12, 8+12=20, 12+20=32, and 20+32=52. If you were to count the number of garter stitch ridges from top to bottom, and stitches from right to left, you'd see that the afghan makes a fibonacci cube. The 3D effect is created by using white yarn for the front face of the cube, light gray for the bottom face, and dark gray for the left face.
Doug made his commitment to MD this week. We toured the campus last week (impressive!) and stocked up on spirit wear! Carrie is happy that she'll be able to drive down and have dinner with him occasionally, and if he comes home to do laundry he can take Amy out for breakfast. We're all glad he'll be close to home!

The afghan pattern came from Woolly Thoughts, which has tons of math-based knitting patterns. Here's Fibo-Optic: http://www.woollythoughts.com/afghans/optic.html
