Sondra Eklund Represents Numbers in Color
Jamie Danielle Munro — April 30, 2012 — Fashion
Math and fashion don't always mix, but Sondra Eklund has managed to combine the two in a quirky sweater. The design represents every number between two and 100 by only using colors. Numbers alone would have just been too easy, so the mathematician and avid knitter decided to challenge herself with this design.
By starting in a certain area on the sweater, and with various colors representing different numbers, Eklund presents mathematical equations that equal various numbers. For a non-math person, the design is just plain confusing, but after reading her description on how to read the sweater, everything makes a lot more sense.
Stay cozy and exercise the brain with this cute and mathematical sweater designed by Sondra Eklund.
