This is going to be a short, quick post. I have discovered hyperbolic crochet!!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_geometry

Hyperbolic Crochet is the name given to applying a mathematical principle to crochet patterns. A hyperbolic plane expands exponentially from any point on its surface, always curving away from itself. Hyperbolic growth gives rise to the ruffled shapes of coral, kelp, and sea anemone. You can easily crochet a hyperbolic surface by increasing at a constant rate throughout the piece. Crocheting a reef is a great opportunity to try different yarns and stitches. The variety of textures and shapes will inspire you to expand your crochet boundaries.

I'm not quite sure exactly what it is and why its important, but I know its cool! I started making one with Red Heart Super Saver in shade 950, Mexicana (see picture below.)It looks so cool! Pictures will be up soon!

p.s.- Go to http://www.theiff.org/oexhibits/05b.html . It has everything i'm too lazy to type on there.
