Have you heard about the Counterfeit Crochet Project? It's a collaborative art project organized by conceptual artist Stephanie Syjuco.

You can watch a video of her online at:

And for teachers, there is an educator guide to go with that story.

If you want to participate in the project, you can find out more info here:
