Sadly, KnitYak is shutting down as a project. We sold our industrial knitting machine to a computer science department at a university. Thanks for all of your support over the years! Read about it here: https://t.co/HeF4zTktQp

Happy Mac / Sad Mac scarves back in stock: vintage Mac ROM from a Power Mac 5200 knit into a scarf. The ROM has hardcoded images in it. Comes with code by @qrs to make an image out of a ROM with a command line script for the exact wrap length of the scarf. https://t.co/xlrKsXFyFX

I got my cyber hat (@dustrial) and my cyber scarf (@fbz) and my dade jacket and my meatpistol shirt and it's good to be back in Seattle.

@KnitYak @fbz I duplicated the scarf image using the instructions, and it worked! This is so awesome! It's really interesting to see the disk/mac icons embedded in the ROM so clearly
