    Just when I thought I've seen it all, along comes the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef exhibit at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. Just look at the size of that thing. And like a healthy reef, it is still growing thanks to a team of mad-knitting contributors. The exhibit started a couple weeks ago and runs through April if you want to check it out. You can even contribute to it. Info and more pics in the links below. Hmmm, I think it needs a sea urchin.
