In happier news, my wife bought the most fascinating machine. It knits yarn into a continuous tube. I think I lost an hour to watching it run this morning.
@jerry The fun thing is you can scale this machine up to any size.
Now the question is for you β to ponder while watching your machine run for a couple more hours β what is the minimum number of hooks?
Hereβs a photo of a larger version in the fantastic TextielMuseum in Tilburg, NL
