Yarnable Wednesday is my fav! Here are some favorite finds from this week:

Lynn Garrett makes chunky knits for your furniture! She sells some terrific chair leg-warmers at her Etsy shop, Biscuit Scout.

Knitt Purr makes incredibly small things by knitting on pins. Yes. Pins. Dolls aren't entirely my thing, but boy do I respect that craftsmanship!

Needle Noodles sells patterns to crochet just about anything on their Etsy shop.

1. Sushi 2. Ring Box 3. Pork Chop Sandwich 4. Candy!

And finally, this dress by Jemma Sykes. Oh. My. Goodness. Jemma designed and knitted this phenomenal dress for Butcher Couture, a company specializing in eco-couture. This piece is made of naturally-dyed 100% wool and was worn by Maria Mena on the cover of her album "Cause and Effect". It was auctioned off to support the Breast Cancer Campaign. Wow. This dress has a longer resume than I do.

Thank you to ArtisicThings for the images. See more about this dress there.

I had to take a quick moment to feature the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef: a project started by twin sisters Christine and Margaret Wertheim. Not only have they crocheted their own coral reef that travels the globe, but they've inspired several satellite projects in various communities.

I first discovered the project in the July issue of Australian Vogue Living, where they were highlighting a community of people at RiAus in Adelaide, that had done just that.

The sisters are co-founders of the Institute for Figuring, and their project began, as they would put it, "as an experiment in modeling hyperbolic mathematical space." How could you not love that?
