I knitted and I knitted and then I knitted some more. And I made this. It’s a netbook case. Seriously. This seemed like so much knitting. Maybe because I was forcing myself a little bit, I wasn’t really in a knitting mood several points through making it (the middle where it gets a bit boring [...]
You can now buy… glowing thunder storm necklace warm and fuzzy glowing heart necklace we like clouds DS lite sock. woop.
For those who did not see me squealing like the little girl I am on my twitter feed a little while back, my conductive mittens prototype was featured on Fashioning Technology and Craft. eek.
I’ve been working on my second mitten prototype, knitting some mittens from scratch, with the conductive thread knitted into the mitten itself, not added as a patch later. So far I’ve only knitted one of the mittens, a rectangle knitted in garter stitch, with the conductive thread knitted in a square around the size of [...]
I’ve gotten a bit impatient with learning how to knit mittens from scratch, and have decided to make some prototypes out of my already existing gloves. I decided to knit some conductive patches and attach them to the gloves. This is how I make my little conductive knitted patches. Once I get a couple of [...]
I did knitted a netbook case, using the lace stich pattern mentioned in an earlier post, and some blue satin. It’s well nice.
This week I have mostly been learning to follow knitting patterns. I’ve been getting rather bored of just knitting rectangles, and since one of my ideas involves knitting mittens I decided it was time to learn to knit like the big girls and boys. My crappy little camera phone and horrible acrylic wool don’t quite [...]
Here’s a quick little video of my knitted RFID weather interface, while it was being exhibited. I’m going to make another clearer video once my monitor is working properly again!
Out of simple curiosity and some boredom I decided to try knitting with conductive thread, to see if it could create circuits and possibly switches. Here’s my fist little attempt, made with some boring white wool and conductive thread. I’m not sure about using it with white wool, may look better with darker wool. I’m [...]
My little baby is done. It’s being exhibited and everything. I had to do some last minute changes, adding some separate power sources to the clouds, as the vibe boards were a little bit greedy and were eating up too much of the power from the USB, and they weren’t vibrating very well. Here’s me [...]
