And the only way that mathematicians know how to model this structure is with crochet. It happens to be a fact.

An English nursery governess, who since Anna's illness had replaced the French governess with the boy, sat doing some crochet work. She hurriedly rose, curtseyed, and nudged Serezha.

In her black hair, all her own, she wore a little garland of pansies, and in her girdle, among the lace, a bunch of the same flowers.

Is it not the kind of life all you young men lead?' she said, frowning and taking up her crochet work from the table began disentangling the hook without looking at Vronsky.

Margaret Wertheim leads a project to re create the creatures of the coral reefs using a crochet technique invented by a mathematician celebrating the amazements of the reef, and deep diving into the hyperbolic geometry underlying coral creation.

And her black velvet with rich lace was not at all conspicuous, but served only as a frame she alone was noticeable simple, natural, elegant and at the same time merry and animated.

Bowing right and left to his acquaintances who, here as elsewhere, greeted him joyfully, he passed on to the buffet, drank a glass of vodka and ate a bit of fish as hors d'oeuvre, and said something to the painted Frenchwoman, bedecked with ribbons and lace, who sat at a little counter something that made even this Frenchwoman burst into frank laughter.
