Ms. Osinga put the manifold on her site

The manifold should have been the last year’s wedding present for my husband but the finish took the same amount of time as the crochet.
The crochet instructions were clear and only needed some attention in counting the stitches and positioning the increases.

The spanning was a real challenge and I was not successfull to bring it into the right form of a mathematical Lorenz Manifold.
To avoid the look of some droopy mops I added two wires which gave the whole formation the look of a manta ray. Finally I succeded to form and fix the wires with naked luster terminals, my own idea, after many ineffective attempts.
I spanned at least 12 different sculptures and none of them resembled to the original.

I admired Dr. Osinga the designer of the object, it seems to be so easy for her to construct the manifold.
My husband was very glad about the gift he received last sunday. It hangs in our landing strip and changes the view with every gentle breeze.

I’m planning another manifold now that I know the sticking points. I will take thin crocheting yarn then.
To show some beautyful views of the manyfold I made a video For highest pleasure chose HD projection.

I sent the link of my video to Dr. Osinga and was very proud of her response.
Her hints may help others to create a manifold of their own.

Dear Michaela,
Thank you very much for your email. We are delighted to know that yet another person has crocheted the Lorenz manifold. You have done a really nice job mounting it.
It is indeed rather difficult to get the crocheted work in the correct shape. We did not realise this until someone else tried it; I guess we have the benefit of knowing the shape from computer images and animations for many many years. The major problem is to get the curvature right for the wire that goes around the boundary of the crocheted
work. Since the wire is on a roll, it already has a lot of curvature and if it is woven into the work from the wrong direction, all this curvature must be bent the other way. It seems that this was also a major cause of your mounting problems, but we think yours looks beautiful and it does not matter that it is not so close to the actual mathematical object.
We are travelling at the moment, but we would very much like to include your contribution on our rochet website.
Would you mind sending some still images that I can use for this? It would be great if you could send a photograph that features you as well, so we can show who was the creator of the piece; however, that is completely optional.
As soon as we return from our travels we will then update the website.
With best wishes,
Hinke.
