365 Clock by Siren Elise Wilhelmsen
German designer Siren Elise Wilhelmsen exhibited her 365 knitting clock at DMY International Design Festival Berlin. The clock includes a circular knitting machine with 48 needles, a thread spool, a thread holder, and roll of yarn. The design seeks to make time a tangible, physical thing. It moves clockwise and after one year, creates a scarf two meters long.

It’s not easy to blend installation sculpture with functional housewares, but she has done it. I am thoroughly impressed.
You get this for someone for their birthday, and then they get a new scarf every year..no need to buy them gifts ever again (maybe except yarn, or something.)
multifunctional design … great!!!
That’s really cool…. but all I see is a knitting machine on the wall. What time is it?
Bernie Lubell Had a similar but large scale human powered device on exhibit at FACT in Liverpool last year.
