Ornamental Elements

When I was very young, my mother taught me to knit and crochet. For some reason I gravitated toward knitting…until today. I stumbled across the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef Project in an article about our Crafting Nation in Ornament…OH MY!!! “By using particular crocheting techniques that employ hyperbolic geometry, these reefs take shape into complex, natural-looking forms.” Follow the link to listen to Margaret Wertheim, the founder of the project, discuss Hyperbolic Crochet on Ted.
