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 what is your wife planning with infinite yarn tubes on demand?
@0xabad1dea @jerry as far as I have observed the knitting of my wife: the infinite yarn tubes can be considered thick yarn and then be used to knit bigger things, like scarfs, hats or even sweaters.

@nils_ballmann @0xabad1dea @jerry Just out of curiosity: Has anyone built a larger yarn-tube knitter that can be used to knit yarn tubes into meta-tubes?

I have no idea what their purpose would be, but the idea amuses me.
