Title:
Knitting Knerdery

Abstract:
As you might suspect, knitting can be used to make nice models of 
mathematical objects. As you might not suspect, some mathematical 
objects are nice models of knitting. I'll be discussing relations 
between mathematics and knitting, and displaying both knitted and 
mathed models. Plus, special guest star: The Geekiest Sweater Ever Made.
