The Knitting Machine
Yesterday, the awesome Kelly Farrell took some time to demo the knitting machine that Bre’s got at the NYCResistor space. The machine looks incredibly confusing when you first open it up, but Kelly makes it look easy. She even fixes a problem on the fly in this video.
Want to see the knitting machine in action? Maybe if we ask really nicely Kelly will break it out again for a demo at our public “Microcontroller Study Group” meeting next Wednesday!
In this video: Kelly Farrell, Eric Skiff (behind the camera / CC-BY music), Raphael Abrams (”this machine is my grandma!”), George Shammas, and Bre’s knitting machine.

that’s amazing! i wonder if Brother discontinued them because people found it tricky to use on the couch while watching sit-coms.
Awesome! My mom used to have a manual knitting machine. I used to move the needles back and forth and try to figure out how it worked. I’d love to have a punch-card model!
I wonder if you could hook one up to the internet and let people knit stuff through a website…
