Hyperbolic, not Hyperbole: Crocheting can help visualize a non-Euclidean space
Non-Euclidean Geometry
(in particular, hyperbolic geometry)
(More examples)
Who says crocheting isn't cool? There was a small special interest story about this in the papers, mainly because of the crocheting but without even a picture of (literally) the object of the story! Why not go to an article with thought and pictures? (Love Google!)
If you really want to dive in, then visit the paper by the authors:
Crocheting the Hyperbolic Plane
by David W. Henderson and Daina Taimiða
