Hacked Knitting Machine Depicts Cosby’s Face (video)

CRAFT sure had a great time at World Maker Faire last weekend. Here’s a highlight:

Andrew Salomone uses a hacked knitting machine from the 80s to “print” digital images into knitted garments. At World Maker Faire New York 2011, Andrew demonstrates the knitting machine and shows off its creations including a sweater with Bill Cosby’s face.
