I have been invited to join the "The Sydney Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef Project" - and I'm very excited. I've been following with great interest the reefs set up around the world as part of the Institute for Figurings voice on the plight of coral reefs around the world, and just how important they are in our ecology.

The combining of Science, maths and Art is amazing, and I would encourage anyone to get involved, the Institute for Figuring's website is THEIFF

10,000 Views!

Thank-you everyone for your support of my videos. I was very excited yesterday when my Animated Hyperbolic Video reached 10,000! I'm inspired to continue creating. Watch this space...Coming soon, how to crochet a 2 colour spiral.

Please check out my other crochet videos, including a video of a Hyperbolic Pseudosphere being made from start to finish. 152 minutes down to 5minutes! (Also - The new express 1 minute version)

Yeah! It's posted!

Today I posted my first Hyperbolic Crochet to The Institute for Figuring in L.A., it's on a long journey from Down Under, but it's exciting to be part of such an amazing and exciting project. I'm hoping to be able to see some photos from the exhibit.

I started a new Hyperbolic Crochet, fine cotton on a 2mm crochet hook. It is very sweet and the ice-cream colours look great!!

Here are some photos of the progress of the "pseudosphere":
