Mathematics and embroidery

Finally! Something that's not a haiku! I enjoy writing them, but I don't want them to be the extent of my creative endeavors. So, what have I been working on besides haikus? An embroidery pattern for my poor skirt. This has been an interesting project because I have both aesthetic and mathematical ideas for the form this pattern takes. Because of the mathematical component, I think I'll ultimately turn to writing a program to create the pattern I want. For right now, however, I'm playing around with it on graph paper to get a better feel for it. Here is the result:

Not much so far, but I'm looking forward to working on it some more. Stay tuned!
