My mobile has polyps

Weird stuff.




Inspired by crocheted sea life as seen on flickr (but not nearly as sofisticated) see for example the photostreams of gooseflesh, I love crochet, szildi, Knot by grandma, and Lisbeth .

a knitted WHAT???

I love organic forms. I signed up for a yahoo group on freeform crochet and I have together with DH been collecting some art nouveau items (nothing expensive, still beautiful) over the years - (art nouveau being very organic inspired).
So then I found out about some mathematicians creating hyperbolic planes in crochet, that being very organic too, and at the same time mathematical (fascinating, but terrifying stuff, mathematics (I have a highschool trauma there)).

And then I wondered, this thought being triggered by my professional career calling for me to know more about neurology (I work with language and have started to be involved in speech pathology recently), would there be anybody who has ever knitted a brain????

and guess what - someone has! The knitted brain even is anatomically correct!

I am amazed.
