The Wind Knitting Factory

The Wind Knitting Factory windmills knitting eco friendly

Reminiscent of Siren Elise Wilhelmsen’s knitting clock, London-based Merel Karhof has developed a fully functional windmill capable of knitting.

With the power of the wind, a knitting machine knits from the outside towards the inside of a building. The knitted material is harvested from time to time and rounded-off in individually packaged scarves. Each scarf has its own label which tells you in how much time it has been knitted and on which date.

A clock that knits

Siren Elise Wilhelmsen has designed a clock that literally knits time.

Every passing of a half hour is marked by the knitting of a mesh, a full day is registered as one round around the clock and a year results in a 2-m-long [6' 5"] scarf. After one year they yarn has to be replaced with a new one and a new year can be knitted.

Elise has some other cool concepts. (via fastco)
