Math, specifically Geometry, is sometimes over my head. Even still, this video of Margaret Wertheim discussing Coral, Crochet, and Hyperbolic Geometry, is fascinating on several levels. If math scares you, don’t worry–there’s more discussed than just Geometry. The art installations that they show in the video are gorgeous, and I’m so very glad to see crochet represented in another beautiful form.
Just wanted to put out a quick hello to everyone coming from Phat Fiber and/or the Phat Fiber secret site. If you’re looking for more patterns, click “Patterns” or “Free Patterns”.

I recently completed a class via Crochetville from Mary Beth Temple. The class was on designing for print publication. Loads of excellent information, and as part of our 3-weeks together (they went quickly) we had to put together a submission package from start to finish, including actual submission.
Well, I did it! In the face of my past rejection goes two designs. One is a lacey winter scarf; the second is a home décor item. The class mentioned only focusing in one design, but I just couldn’t when there was a second that was begging to be swatched as well.
SO, here we are again–waiting impatiently for any response, though preferably a positive one.
While I wait, though, I’ll have crochet to keep me busy (well, and work and uni). I’ve also got tons of yarn and roving to dye, even new colors to play with.
Appears this site was down for most of yesterday, and I was so busy with work that I didn’t realize it. Everything’s fixed and back in working order. :)
This week, Lime’n'Violet (of podcasting fame) received a stash of yarn I sent their way. I wanted to thank them for the laughs, and since we’re all yarn-a-holics, I decided sending yarn was the best way to show my thanks and appreciation.
Boy, did they ever love it! You can take a listen to episode 79 (yarn porn and thank you’s are at the end) here: http://limenviolet.blogspot.com/.
Also, for those of you who keep track of my yarn adventures, I’ve just purchased some more stock so that I can dye it all up. I’m running low on what I’ve got left, so it’ll be good to get more colorways out of me. ;)
While I’m thinking about it, I’ve been providing stitch guides/patterns videos to the podcast, but I haven’t been posting them here. There’s a reason for that, really. The videos I post to the podcast/vidcast are to show how to do stitches I bring up in a new section I’ve started, “In Stitches”. Since I don’t discuss those here, I haven’t posted any.
If you’re interested in that sort of thing, go visit the Podcast show notes to see the videos.
