About it
A crocheted Earth, captured from photos and drawn with splats. Crochet makes cloth from one long loop-pulled thread and a hook. Here the yarn colors draw blue oceans, green and cream land and white ice, so each stitch is one tiny pixel of the planet.
Tap it and the Earth spins round twice, like the other planets, and stops. Drag to turn it and look for the continents among the stitches.
