The world in the palm of my hands!

I'm a giant nerd.

So, naturally, I lept at the chance to crochet a globe for a secret valentine's day present (a week-late secret valentine's anyway). In my head, this project was going to work out perfectly.

Really, it was going to be great!

But, by the time it was all over, I was cursing tiny island countries, Argentina's cape had ripped off, and I had a much greater sense of appreciation for early cartographers than I ever believed possible. BUT... I did it.

A brief comparison of Saudi Arabia and Madagascar shows how completely inaccurate this globe ended up being haha

To anyone attempting this project, I'd suggest tracing the countries' outlines off a globe (NOT a map), keeping a bunch of pins on hand to keep the countries in place, and marking the equator somehow (probably with more pins). Good luck!

See you later
