(A #Fibonnacci #poem)

O
Great
Cauldron
Containing
Within your own self
The entirety of cauldrons
That you have swallowed whole and are subsumed within you
Ever circling but never reaching the Golden Ratio of proportion that you seek

Screenshot of page from simply crochet magazine. Sometimes it's good to have some science to help with our artistic choices. With stripes, the Fibonacci sequence can be really helpful. It's a simple series of numbers: 0.1,1,2,3,5,8, 13, 21, and so on infinitely. Batically, you just start with 1, then add 1, then just add together the previous two nambers in the sequence. You can use Fibonacci numbers to help you plan how many colours to use and how many rows to work in each colour to create good-looking effects. Here's how: Step 1 To create a simple stripe pattem, try using three colours ja Fibonacci number) and four Fibonacci numbers (5, 3, 2, 1) to define the number of rows in each stripe. Alternate the three colours (A, B and with the four Fibonacci numbers, for example. 5 rows A, 3 rows B, 2 rows 1 row A: 5 rows B, 3 rows C. 2 rows Arow B 5 rows C 3 rows A, 2 rows B, 1 row C; and repeat. Step 2 Let's change the above stripe pattern by adjusting the number of yam colours. For example, if you use five colours (the next Fibonacci number in the sexquerice) and the same sequence of row numbers (5, 3, 2, 1) you'll create a longer stripe sequence that looks organically random. Step 3 Let's go back to using three colours and this time, change the Fibonacci numbers. Try using five numbers (1, 2, 3, 5, 8) in an increasing and decreasing sequence: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8.5, 3. 2, 1, The resulting stripe pattem looks naturally attractive
