I admit it; I love things that take traditional domestic activities and update them with a techno twist. I laughed at the giant excavator knitting project a few weeks ago, but was even more intrigued by KnitWit, “intelligent” knitting needles that detect needle movement and automatically count stitches and rows. This isn’t just technology for technology’s sake, but promises to be truly useful (at least for those of you who actually knit). Thanks to MAKE for the sighting.
