Wind-powered Knitting Factory

Here at knitonthenet we are usually all about the hand knitting, but this was too good to miss.

London based product designer, Merel Karhof has designed a wind-powered knitting maching which makes lovely scarves. You can see a video of it in action on her website here.

Isn't it clever? It reminds me of Rachael Matthews and Louise Harries' Louder than Bombs installation in which they had a bicycle-powered yarn mill. You can read Rachael's article about it here.
