See my post over at the KnittyBlog.
You guys probably know that I'm part of the Knitty team - I am the grasshopper to sensei Mandy for technical editing. Love the work - it is precisely the combination of math and knitting that makes me happy. I've said this for a long time - I use my math significantly more in this world than I ever did in the tech industry, and technical editing really exercises that side of my brain. In addition, I find a strange pleasure in charting - it fires exactly the same neurons as doing Sudoku, and gives me precisely the same satisfaction.
Okay, okay, it's weird, I know - but the knitting world is benefiting from my weirdness in having well-written and accurate sock patterns. I use my powers for good!

Oh my dear, the world is a better place for having you in it!
I too love numbers. I'm going to take one of your classes on math & how it relates to knitting.
I always tell my clients "Knitting- it's all about the math" then they complain- & laugh!!
So, thanks for the fantastic math skills!!
This knitter is eternally grateful for well written sock patterns and charts. Especially charts.
Isn't it ironic where educational skills come in useful? I work as a Civil Engineer but I did graduate study in Scandinavian Literature...and those skills got me the Technical Writing engineering job that I have now. Most engineers don't have good writing skills, and I do.
