I was JUST at the Smithsonian and saw the crochet coral reef. It took me a minute to realize it wasn't a coral reef and that it was crochet. It's absolutely breathtaking.
So cool, Camille! I really want to go now! I'm glad to hear you liked it! Hope you had a great trip!!!
I remember a Christmas break some 10 years when my friend's boyfriend insisted I teach him how to crochet so he could make parabolas. We spent the whole holiday making all the formulas he could think of and then pulling them out so we wouldn't have to buy new yarn!
I saw this in Wired magazine this month, and it was on my list of "postworthy" topics! So awesome, right?
Nancy - that story makes me laugh out loud! I love that craft was used in such a smart way!
And Emily - I totally agree! I definitely want to try and make a trip to see it!
