Knitting by Wind

a coworker forwarded me this great link.. a Wind Powered Knitting Machine.

now the knitting in this picture is not machine knitting, it is hand knitting, a closeup of part of the Leaf Light Kimono I made from a Jane Thornley Pattern. It is the windiest knitting I have .. reminds me of ripples of clouds or water rippled by the wind, sand rippled by the sea.

Hi Megan!

This is some of the prettiest knitting I have ever seen! Why and how is it a "Kimono?" That makes it even more fascinating. I can't wait to see more...

Hope you are well!

The wind powered knitting machine is an ingenious idea. That photo of a long trailing fabric hanging off the side of the building reminds me of that video of the old knitster who knits off a cliff and the weight of the knitting eventually pulls her off the edge.
