Has anyone heard of this?
This is a traveling exhibit put on by The Institute for Figuring - trying to promote awareness for our endangered coral reefs.
The Chicago Reader has a good little article with some more information about the concept.
If you're on Ravelry, do a search of patterns using the "search tags" or "search projects" option and type in Coral Reef. Or go to "bluesmoothie's" notebook.

That is very cool.
But all I can think of is trying to dust the beast!
Good, now people can make fun of crocheters too. (LOL) People often laugh when I tell them I knit food. I'd say knitting or crocheting a coral reef is worthy of some funny looks too:)
Wow! I've never heard of this before, but I do have a book with patterns in it for a completely knitted garden - from flowers in pots to knitted grass...right down to knitted flies and dragonflies...and knitted bricks to make a garden path with.
The idea of a crocheted coral reef is intriguing. If I had kids, I might totally do that for them to play with. Think of the interest in the sea you would generate! I can see science projects springing up from there!
Really cool!
That is really cool! I would ask if you could make that for me... but I know better! :)
From the last post: Did you know Paul can tie flies? It was his very first job, in fact. I think he was in 6th grade? If the economy doesn't get any better, he may have to go back to doing this!
Awesome display. I shared it with my crochet students this week.
Yes I had seen this - but one never gets tired of looking at this wonder!
Tres cool!
