Is anyone else disappointed that you can't buy the wind-knitting device itself, only scarves knitted from the device? :)

I'm curious about how you 'harvest' a section of tube without it unraveling.

Maybe cut it around, remove the little bits of yarn, then unravel a ways on purpose, and knit the unraveled yarn through the edge like a normal bind-off?

Knitting is programming. Read a knitting pattern and it's low level programming - knitters do not get enough credit.

I'm very disappointed there doesn't appear to be a Tom Scott video on this.

Is this something that can be seen in person?

This is delightfully weird, I love projects like this.

I spent a couple of days building staircases inside a rope factory, kinda thing that I would just add a glass wall and put in a coffee shop, it's an odd thing to watch something solid materialise out of a intricate repetitive motion that happens ever so slightly faster that you can track. different rig than the wind knitter but both I think are clasified as braiders

Beautiful work.

As an off-topic observation, whenever I see something like the phrase “operates between the public and the private space” I immediately think: this person definitely went to art school :P

Oh that device should look familiar to fans of Hand Tool Rescue.
