This is so cool, going to have to check out all of the posts in this series. I recently got a manual knitting machine (a basic round one, non programmable) and have really been enjoying the process.
Learning about the more advanced machines, even the manual ones, is fascinating. If computers weren’t around, I’m sure I’d be doing something with knitting professionally instead of programming.
The maker community is so much more than just 3D printing and soldering! The fight for open-source programming tools and open file formats are so important.
