'Figuring Fibers' is a welcoming book showing just how rich and beautiful the intersection of mathematics and fiber arts can be. The mathematics is interesting, the crafts are intriguing, and the exposition is well done.

Whether you are looking for a mathematical text to motivate your inner artist or to inspire the mind of a creative student, I would highly recommend this book. The mathematical arguments are sound and the patterns are well-written.

"Figuring Fibers" offers eight mathematically and artistically beautiful chapters through which a reader can explore and learn quite a bit of mathematics and fiber arts...The writing is clear and connects precise mathematical definitions and theorems to the making of fiber art objects: objects to touch, to explore, and to ask mathematical questions about.

I have long wondered whether it was possible to create art that expressed the beauty of science at a deep level. Most of the art I've seen celebrating science has lain strictly at the surface — mostly, images of scientific concepts that happen to have aesthetically attractive representations...Until someone told me about "Figuring Fibers." "Figuring Fibers" is a compilation of articles that demonstrate mathematical principles using fiber arts in a deep, thoughtful manner. It's unique in that it's written with mathematical rigor, yet is readable by the sufficiently bold layperson; and each article covers a deep, interesting mathematical idea and then demonstrates it/extends the idea using a fiber art technique.
