Knitting Machine
Here is the fuzziest, crappiest picture I could possibly have taken when Dave and I saw the knitting machine at MassMoCA this weekend.
Yep. I charged the camera batteries and everything and what did I do? I left the camera at home and was forced to use my cell phone to take this picture. Well, Dave thought it was kind of boring, but I definitely enjoyed seeing the three very slow stitches we saw in the ten or so minutes we were outside. As you can see in the photo (or maybe not), there are these two construction vehicles with giant knitting needles attached. The one on the right pretty much stays stationary while the one on the left is maneuvered through the stitch. Then the guy in the hard hat will carry the "yarn" up over the needle and slide the old stitch off. Not bad! Inside there were a few more pieces by Dave Cole and a display of knitting needles throughout different American wars. It was neat. The American flag that was being knitted by the machine is supposed to have been finished now and will be on display in the museum.
