I'm most definitely not a math person (language arts is my thing), but I enjoy making lace. I do prefer the less structured Beds and floral Beds laces, but I'll do a little torchon or bucks on occasion for some variety, and I know there is more 'math' involved with them.
I think some may also be how your brain functions - some people are more logical, methodical, or linear thinkers than others, who would be considered more 'random' or less linear in their approaches to learning and problem solving. What I like about lace is that it makes be use both hands to work the lace, rather than just one hand to stitch or do the tasks. I've right handed, and that's my dominant hand/side, so lace forces me to use my left hand to work, which is supposed to be a good thing. I think it was Jake Plummer (former NFL QB) who deliberately made himself brush his teeth and do other tasks with his left hand (non-dominant hand) to help combat Alzheimers (which I think a family member of his had). Fascinating thing - how the brain works. And Sudoku puzzles are supposed to be good too, for the brain. Cheers, Helen, duvall, WA, where our 3rd dry day in a row is coming to a close and the rain is expected to return tonight. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
