Notes

Reproducing the rotunda of the Reading Room at the the British Museum in London for the Encyclopedia:Library challenge for NerdWars T11.

Improvising as I knit -- just making it up as I go. I did a small sketch on graph paper just to capture proportions and hope that I can cable the curvy parts.
