• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

this very cool... a knitting clock... one stitch every half an hour, and after 365 days it drops a two meter scarf.

there is apparently also a tall case version...

I think I have the perfect name for it: The knit-wit clock.
hmm... i think you were trying to be 'knit-witty', but left out the witty part. :)

what interests me is how she makes it do a stitch every half an hour... perhaps an arduino-type device? i couldn't find any information on how the thing works except for this:

"the clock houses a circular knitting machine with 48 needles, a thread spool, a thread holder and roll of yarn. moving in clockwise direction, one day leads to a complete round, while a year gives users 2 meters of a complete scarf."
