Our newsletter today celebrates Fibonacci (Leonardo Bonacci was his given name) and how his observations around 900 years ago affect our design lives today. And - one fact that didn’t make it into our newsletter was that today - November 23 - is actually a Fibonacci sequence - 1 1 2 3

We thought it would be fun if we posted examples we notice, as we go about our normal lives today - in either nature or design. Share with us what you've found in your life!

And to understand more about it - I’ve clipped this from Jane’s Knowledge Base article on Fibonacci and the Division of Space.

Our guiding light for the division of space is the Fibonacci numeric sequence. It works like this: Start by counting 1, 2.
1, 2
Now add those together. The sum is your next number: 3.
1, 2, 3
Now just keep going: add the last two numbers in the sequence to get the next number.
1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21
…until you want to stop. —Sounds a bit contrived, but this sequence underlies some of the most stunning designs in nature—including your DNA, the spiral formed by the hairs on your head, the leaves of lettuce, the seeds of a sunflower, and the shell of the nautilus snail. Now that’s magic in design.

Just finished Parrot and love it and the cloth so much. How do I add a picture?

Thank you Sanda - this is very interesting!

Fibonacci shows up in the tartan scarf I wove for my brother. https://ibb.co/302HCGf

Hi Christine and clkandel - the instructions for loading a photo can be found under Resources at the top of every page. When you open Resources you will see a Forum "button" - go there and an item called Uploading Photos - https://help.schoolofweaving.tv/article/100-uploading-images We look forward to seeing your Fibonacci photos.

I love walking our west coast beaches collecting sea shells and rocks. I actually checked these shells to make sure they followed the Fibonacci sequence 😄

I used Fibonacci in the last sweater I knitted. It was right after I started watching Jane's classes !

Colors in that photo are not accurate. It's a lovely lavender and purple, and much prettier in reality.

I tried several times to subscribe to your newsletter but it didn't work. So I read it in the shop.
But the newest from this week isn't there yet.

Here is no beach to walk, but we have got forests and Mr Fib was here too😊

That's beautiful, Catherine! Thank you for posting a perfect example of the Fibonacci sequence!
