Thankyou for sharing this - a while back I heard about the crochet Lorenz manifold <but what do you do with it?> via my spinney-weavey network - and I'd forgotten about it.
Instructions for making one are found here: http://www.enm.bris.ac.uk/anm/preprints/2004r03.html Pretty, isn't it, really? There are some nice photos of geometric creations in the Science News article, and a link to some amusing (to me anyway) examples of "mathematical knitting." I had briefly considered a BL structure like the Lorenz manifold - or a torus perhaps - then discarded the idea as beyond my ken ;) > Our latest copy of Science News came today, and although lace is mentioned > > only in the first paragraph of this article, still I thought the entire > article might be of interest, as I suspect we have many people on this > list > who share the interest in textiles and geometry.
