The Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef

The Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef exhibit in D.C. is coming to a close next week, still time to see this beauty! It's at the National History Museum.

An amazing display of nature and art coming together..

Words cannot describe the work done here. Hours and hours of crochet. With every type of fiber or non fiber you could imagine. Cassette tape, twist ties, every sort of yarn possible.

Color color color

These 'towers' were treasures. Fiber sculpture. Unbelievably beautiful.

All iridescent beads on this one

And a 'toxic' reef all made of plastic stuff, bottle tops, beer cans, netting, all types of trash.

Ends April 24th..

stepping stones

I've intend to make an entire blanket with this type of treatment. I've used various Noro's here, silk garden, kocoran, kureyon , crochet in various circles, then 'attaching' with crochet 'mortar'. A very freeing exercise, even more than, say, the granny square. Right now it's a stepping stone scarf, on it's way to where the road leads to.. yarn heaven?

rain + yarn

Finally finished something! This is a scarf made with Debbie Bliss soho, plus a little crochet edge..in my favorite green

A basket weave stitch that was a little hard to keep up with, considering the variegated yarn..ready for the cold weather!

lots of color

Well, I think I'm going to live..still not 100% but a lot better! Thanks for the well wishes.. I've been sitting and crocheting a bit w/Noro Kureyon, a yarn some love (me) and some hate. It's not the snuggliest yarn, but color- wise, it's the bomb. Some granny action:

Hope you are enjoying the early Fall, where you are.
