A stitch in time...


"Oooh I love your scarf, where did you get it?"
"Actually my clock knitted it for me!"
"Oh. Right."

This may be a conversation you could be having soon if German designer Siren Elise Wilhelmsen gets his way. He has created a crazy clock that knits and after 365 days you will be left with a 2m long scarf! "Knitting needs perfection and precision and clock is one of the best precision instruments in the world." In place of the clock face is this complex mechanism made up of 48 needles and to represent the time passing is the length of yarn. Its a fantastic concept, and while somedays you may feel that you've wasted time, you can rest assured that your clock is multi tasking at home, preparing to keep you warm in the winter months.... Must dash, I'm setting mine in time for next Christmas!
