from Merel Karhof (video here). It actually looks quite fast.

I feel slightly unsettled that I can tell just from the building not only that it’s London, but that it’s somewhere in West London. Not the sort of place you’d imagine would have a wind-powered knitting machine, but there you go.

The idea is that it merrily spins away making scarves, and every so often you harvest a bit of it. Reminds me of the self-knitting lampshade that I went on about earlier:

An ode to Cognitive Surplus.

A celebration of the inventive backwaters of the human spirit... a celebration of people who would appear to have far too much time on their hands...


A celebration of laterality.


If you come they will build it.


By knowledge shall the spheres be filled.
