Hyperbolic crochet was invented by a mathematician named Daina Taimiņa. Read the story here, and visit her relevant and lovely blog for more connections between hyperbolic crochet and human environmental impact.

We're not making a reef, but the initial impulse for Social Handcraft was inspired by the Institute for Figuring's Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef. Specifically, we love the connection Christine and Margaret Wertheim make, between the labour of the tiny organisms that band together to create a reef, and the intensive, care-filled labour of handcraft.

Now that you’re reading articles we like, a reminder to visit this article, by Kidlat Tahimik. There’s much to learn.
