He does need that. He also needs to see that he can pick out the pieces that work for him and leave the rest. But it's ironic that a college-level math class made more sense to him than anything he got in grade school. Sure, he can't read the equations. But poking at yarn sculptures just taught him a whole bunch of stuff, and that's more than he's gotten in class before.

I agree -- especially when it comes to people who can freehand a yarn sculpture without a pattern, or resize a pattern in their head. My grandmother could do the latter. She made houseshoes for everyone in the family. She had a pattern for reference. She rarely used it. She'd just look at how big our feet were and start going. It was amazing.
Thank you!
:D I'm glad you liked it.
