Three different views of the finished coral reef. I have really enjoyed making this and have ambitions to do a much bigger one (this one is about 20 inches long) but the problem of where to keep it after it's finished rears it's ugly head!

Unveiling of the Library Leaders' Project
At last the children from St. Gerards and Topcliffe schools were able to see their hard work assembled and unveiled at the Library. They had all worked well both individually and in their school groups and all agreed that the final result was worth all the effort. Apart from this wall art the group have bought books, soft toys, bookstands and soft furnishing for the children's library as well as acting as "reading ambassadors" at their schools. The project was sponsored by Core Skills Funding to celebrate the Year of Reading 2008.Saturday, 9 May 2009
Sydney Hyperbolic Reef
Since I posted yesterday, several people have emailed me to get more info on the reef.The best way I can explain is not to, but to point everyone interested to the amazing website www.sydneyreef.blogspot.com
Last year was my first introduction to the coral reef crochet when I saw the fantastic one on show at the Knitting & Stitching show at the NEC in Birmingham. I had the opportunity (as did any member of the public) to add my bit and that was the beginning! I am trying to get my mind round how big a reef I can make because where do you put it when it's done? The current pieca is about 20 inches long.
I am finding this super scrumble to be the most fun I have had (in a craft sense of course) for a good while

This work in progress began with the knitted background and some scrumble bits I had already made. I am not sure if I like the balance between the beads and the crochet
