The strange thing has grown since the last post, so here are two new pictures. First one of the whole thing:
And under the fold a detail.

I was searching for this kind of a blog for months now. Actually lost the hope of finding one, but here i am :) Thanks for the great articles! Looking forward for a little read after dinner :)
Heerlijk, die enthousiaste reagluurders. Waarom krijg ik die niet?
Be careful what you wish for…
What an unusual thing!!! I absolutly love it!!!
This is so off the wall and cool…is there a pattern for this somewhere? I am an avid crocheter and would love to challenge myself with this project!
Thanks!
the pattern is pretty simple actually: just crochet a triangle with three equal sides, then along one of the sides, add a new triangle of the same size. Keep adding triangles such that in every corner seven triangles meet.
(With six triangles meeting in a point, you get a flat surface, and with five, four, or three you get different platonic solids.)
Good luck with trying hour hand at it!
