Did you know about this? Until yesterday I didn't. Aussie mathematicians Christine and Margaret Wertheim, who run the Institute of Figuring, in New York (I think), have started this project. Apparently hyperbolic crochet is the best way to represent the growth of a coral reef. So to raise awareness of how coral reefs are endangered and to celebate women's handcrafts, they have run workshops and invited people to add their own little bit of reef to the original project.
There are also a number of side projects.
On the main page there is a link to the Sydney group who are exhibiting in August.
Collaborative projects with yarn are certainly taking off. Have you seen Dneese's guerilla knitting projects? How cool is that!!!
