Hyperbolic Crochet Reef Workshops
Hyperbolic Reef Workshops
We hope to see many people joining us for these days of understanding the geometry of hyperbolic space, the environmental impact of our lifestyle and not least the physical manifestation of hyperbolic space. We will hear the speakers on geometry and marine biology before lunch and then we will get down to some hyperbolic crochet after lunch.
These workshops are not not suitable for small children and older children should be accompanied by parent/guardian at all times.
Details on the speakers:
Dr. Anke C. Dietzsch studied ecology at the University of Bonn, Germany, and at Trinity College Dublin. She has worked for the National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, and is currently a researcher at TCD. Her studies brought her to tropical and temperate climates in Asia, Africa and South America where she admired and investigated the ecology and biodiversity of both terrestrial and marine ecosystems. This year she mediated for the Crochet Coral Reef Project at the Science Gallery Dublin and is passionate about the idea of communicating Arts and Science to a wide, interested audience.
Eiseart Dunne is a student at Trinity College who hails from Cappawhite in Co. Tipperary. He studied English Literature and Mathematics for three years before choosing to specialise in Maths for his upcoming fourth and final year. He spends part of his time working as a mediator in the Science Gallery.and too much of the rest of it looking at funny and cute pictures of animals.
The Reefers & Irene Lundgaard are autodidact crocheters who are passionate about Hyperbolic Crochet and like to share their knowledge of this fantastic craft with as many people as possible. They have been involved in The Irish Reef from the word go and are trying to bring it to as many places in Ireland as possible to share the beauty of this woolly wonder and generate awareness of the negative environmental impact that is happening to coral reefs worldwide.

Hospice Knitting
I was contacted today by a lady on behalf of St Francis Hospice. They're fundraising to complete the building of a hospice here in Dublin 15. A truly great cause, and one I've always supported at their other location in Raheny, Dublin as they cared for two of my relations wonderfully in their final days.
Basically, they're hoping to have a craft fair in early December and are looking for knitters and crocheters to make lots of different things. Here's the flier:
I, for one, am really going to try and make some things for them. They sent me a few free patterns that they're sending out to people who ask, so if you want one, leave a comment with contact details and I'll send the info on.
One of the organisers, Maeve Henchion, will be coming along to the knitting group next Tuesday to fill us in on all the details.
I think you'll agree it's a wonderful cause, so please, if you can, knit or crochet something up!

Some Irish Yarny Ravelry Groups - Non-Shops
Many of these groups have information about meetups and shops in the areas. Yes the categories are a little loose and I've probably got things wrong in some instances, feel free to comment and I will correct as I can. I haven't sorted these in any real order and the only Irish group I didn't include are groups that were for an event that has passed. There is a second post coming shortly about shops/businesses
General Groups
One of the biggest ones is the Irish Knitters Group they have some exellent resources there, in the pages tab you will find Irish Knitting Charities; Irish Knitting Groups and Irish Knitting Shops which also has a link to the Google Knit Map of Ireland.It is also home to the infamous End of Aran Knitters Thread that tries to dispel some of the myths about Aran knitting, it also includes some discussion of current Irish Knitting. Please be aware that many of the "local" posters are pretty tired of this thread and will pounce on people who make sweeping statements that include "I didn't have time to read all the posts on the thread but..."
Irish Spinners is for Irish Spinners of all levels
Crocheters in and around Ireland like it says, for Irish and Irish orientated Crocheters.
If you're looking to practice Irish and knit (chniotáil) or Crochet (chróise) in Irish, you might want to try the Gaeilgeoirí ar Ravelry group
