Wind powered knitting machine!


This is just about as cool as it gets! I saw this machine on http://www.engadget.com and just had to spread the news!

The ingenious artist Merel Karhof has a solution for the ones who find knitting difficult and want a scarf. She has designed and invented a machine that knits all on its own, powered by wind. Called the Wind Knitting Factory the machine knits a scarf in about two hours, given a little wif of wind.

  7. Amazing machine!

    I could surely use this! This or a band of roving elves that would come into my studio at night and finish projects for me--and clean up after me!
