CibbuanoLamp knits itself
March 27th 2008 03:09
Knitted lamps aren't so fashionable anymore, but they do give your home a nice DIY feel. And knitting is coming back as the latest craze to hit the nightclubs, with all the celebrities bringing knitting needles to the hot Hollywood parties.
Knitting doesn't really have a place on Techcrunch, though, unless there's something cool involved. Like invisible knitting or even steampunk knitting.
Well, this comes close... this lamp knits its own lampshade. Slowly, but surely.
When it gets too long, just rip off the bottom part and wear it like a skirt. Voila!
From the post:
"it's "a lamp that develops like a living organism: switch it on and it slowly starts growing by knitting its own lampshade at a speed of three rotations per hour.""
It's a great idea, and one that can, hopefully, be extended to other things... how about self-knitting socks, for example? As soon as you've lost one, the other sock has knitted a friend?
