COZIES
OK, so you know what a "cozy" is, right?  It's a functional and decorative "sweater" for your household objects, a beautifying and insulating layer that helps warm things stay warm longer.
Here is a modern example of the classic "tea cozy" that uses 2 colors of yarn to create an optical illusion.

In a completely different take, this blogger features cozies as a friendly and comforting feature that can transform and draw the eye to teapots, books, and even urns.

Too static for you? (Sorry, couldn't resist a good fiber pun...)  Cozies don't just have to be for teapots or stationary objects!  Check out this link to a video a friend turned me onto of...Turtles...and Tortoises...and Cozies?!

MATH!
In a more mathematical  state of mind?  Check out this interesting website full of "Mathekniticians" who are all about combining love of fibercrafts with love of geometry--their latest venture is called "illusion" or "shadow knitting." Lots of fun plays on words. The website name and the tag line are "Woolly Thoughts: In pursuit of Crafty Mathematics."
