This month we’re celebrating 20 years of being in the first UNESCO #CityOfLiterature! But how much do you know about literary Edinburgh? Take a virtual tour of some of Edinburgh's famous literary locations to find out! ourtownstories.co.uk/story/2614-edi… @EdinCityofLit

A little look at the article about me in issue 5 of The Journal of Scottish Yarn. DM me if you'd like to buy a copy.

There are those who believe in divination by boneyard lichen. Hooklanders call it tomb-blight telling. Charts to tomorrow in swirl and splotch. A thousand branchings to show the possible worlds stemming from the now. Of course, it's a difficult art to master. – #MattAdams, 1982

Following widespread demand for responses to my recent call for recommendations for #Books That Are About #Maths But Not About Teaching to be collated into a list*, I have only been and gone and done it: tommaths.blogspot.com/2024/09/books-…

I cancelled my trip to @OrkSciFest when I came down with COVID a couple of weeks ago. The art and data workshops are still going ahead with @ploterre's amazing graphic prints using environmental data. Kirkwall oisf.org/fest-event/wor… Stromness oisf.org/fest-event/wor…

Back here after a 3 month break for a variety of reasons and wondering who's still here. Here's a basket of neck warmers with motifs from #conwaysgameoflife for a happy #fairislefriday post. #mathscraft #cellularautomata #mathematicalknitting

The sun is shining on the Pleasance courtyard (of course I am lurking under the shade, because I am a Scottish person & highly flammable in direct sunlight), a splendid day for @CymeraF #Cymera2024 #books #livres #Edinburgh #Edimbourg #photography #photographie

Second breakfast of champions during @CymeraF Creators Hall lunch break. Excellent vegan Lorne sausage from Breakfast, Brunch And Lunch on The Pleasance. Pop in to @CymeraF and see me and my space knitting and Alba ad Astra merch this afternoon.

This Saturday you can find me in the Creators Hall at @CymeraF. I'll have some Alba ad Astra merch and space knitting (inspired by images from NASA archive and more). It's in The Pleasance Courtyard, Edinburgh and admission is free! cymerafestival.co.uk/creatorshall

Ken MacLeod ( @amendlocke ) has a new book out very soon - Beyond the Light Horizon - and I should have signed copies available! More details here: transreal.wordpress.com/2024/05/07/ken…

Knitted Ada Lovelace is ready to meet the public at The Woolly Good Gathering in Edinburgh tomorrow and Saturday. All the details here woollygood.co.uk

@mharoldpage @amendlocke That looks more like a Stockhausen score than the Benny Hill theme!

@amendlocke Scottish denominational history comes with its own Benny Hill soundtrack.

A Conventicle for Leibowitz: Scottish Presbyterian ministers and elders preserve knowledge after a nuclear war, but over the centuries split into so many irreconcilable denominations that reassembling the Memorabilia becomes an interminable task.

@MikeTorC Just one at a time

@knotunknot Just one Tentacle? Has it downsized?! 😉 🦡

Website updates! New exhibits, events and classes on the front page and new galleries for Botanica Mathematica and Attack of the Knitted Tentacle. madeleineshepherd.co.uk/gallery_786568…

Thought it was about time to show you some #conwaysgameoflife knitting again. #computationalknitting #gameoflifefairisle #knittinglife #mathscraft
