Do you need a yurt?

Kate Pokorny is crocheting a yurt.  A yurt is dome shaped shelter, looking like a wooly igloo.  She is trying to raise $5,500 for the materials.  In one photo Kate is seen standing on 200 pounds of Dorset wool in her parents' backyard in New Hampsire.  The diameter of the "yarn" used looked larger than a strong man's arm.    For more info google  Yurt Alert.  To do this she has to study various aspects of math related to constructing a curved surface that will retain its shape. If you donate to her project she will send you a mini crocheted yurt. Good luck Kate.

Books

The Chicago Public Lbrary has 89 books about crochet listed, and hundreds for knitting. I am wondering if this is reflective of interest.
