With @JPQ we found this genus-0 surface with three boundary components: a figure-8 knot, and two trefoils (one left-handed and the other right-handed). It turns out that such a surface exists for any three knots and we wrote a paper about it:
https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.12729
The three illustrations were done using crochet, 3D-printing, and Inkscape.

27 pieces.
I made it by from boromean rings at each corner, and then added the middle pieces. It still kind of works the same way, if you remove any one colour the other two are disconnected.

I read this when I was a kid, valuable life lessons.

I have the day off today (trying to use up vacation before the new fiscal year starts), and am spending part of the day learning how to tie #knots. I don't think I'm ever going to have to secure a boat to a dock, but I do sometimes tie things up in my garden, and I've often thought there are probably better ways to do things than repeated overhand knots.
And I work in IT. Learning hand skills from time to time seems useful to keep myself from floating away in a puff of cybernetic abstraction.

I'm just thinking about knots and how they are so very, very clever and very clever ways to hold something or link something and all you need is a length of rope or string or something.
But at the same time, I've absolutely no interest in looking up about knots and learning their many varieties and many uses.

When I was looking for a different knot puzzle (https://www.andrewt.net/puzzles/celtix/ by @andrewt), I found this one (https://metalmastery.itch.io/celted) where you swap tiles to make a knot.
I like both of them, maybe you will too

TIL that Frank Vigor Morley (1899–1980) published a paper in 1924 showing how to knot two strips of paper into a regular hexagon and one strip into a regular heptagon (and generalised into a regular polygon of any odd number of sides). https://www.origamiheaven.com/historyanoteonknots.htm
He was the son of Frank Morley (1860–1937), known for Morley’s triangle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morley%27s_trisector_theorem, amongst other things.

The six-year-old got a knife. Carbon steel with a rounded tip, wood handle. The sheath isn't great though, no way to hang the knife on your pants. So I tied some paracord around the handle so you can use a carabiner to attach the knife to pants. The ending could be done better next time. #paracord #knots

Here's the video for those who want it. The spilled marlinspike hitch method of bowline tying is the very first thing he does.

Just felt like an XKCD character when I assumed my partner would be just as excited as myself at a video demonstrating a marlinspike hitch spilling into a bowline.

My online Moby Dick book club's reading for the week starts with Chapter 47, "The Mat Maker", which opens with Queequeg and Ishmael working on sword mats. Since on the nerd Venn diagram I sit at the intersection of "in an online Moby Dick book club" *and* "a member of the International Guild of Knot Tyers"", I decided to tie an example of a sword mat (which is the flat part of this assembly; the ring at the end is technically a simple ringbolt hitch.)

做一些視覺畫面相關的工作時
很容易視覺麻痺
一時鬼遮眼今晚在弄報名市集的雜事
翻照片來整理
怎麼以前沒注意過這張
混在一堆類似構圖中直接消失
但裁一下比例就亮起來了
搞那麼久沒這款的照片能用
結果根本就有#mastoart #artistsonmastodon #fediart #creativetoots #artwork
