The hyperbolic plane is not

The hyperbolic plane is not supposed to be too hard it is esentially n+1

the lorenz manifold is PAGES of instructions and is really difficult, something that you have to pay a lot of attention to when you are making it to make the correct stitches in the correct places

They have the hyperbolic models on display at the Smithsonian. I have visions of creating really beautiful blends of colors and getting my own gallery showing....... you know when I get all that time I have coming to me ..... like never..... the only thing standing my the way is my inability to crochet- but when you think big that is a minor setback.....lol

They look as if they are the same technique as if you make little roses, at least the first two.
It shouldn't be too hard, but I could explain myself only in german crochetwise, but I usually do my stuff just by 'trial and error' with the picture next to me ... sorry for not being a lot of help, they look pretty cool
