Take Back the Tech. Here's an Open Source knitting machine you can download & print. The medium is the message: the properties of tools are more important than the products. The cultures and ways of life facilitated by tools determine their ethical value. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFes...

#Tiedye banner for a friend. They requested earth tones and picked the colors. I don't have enough room to photograph a 6x8 banner in my house and did it in 2 parts. The circles are geode tied. The rest of the banner is scrunched. Colors are Palomino gold Shiitake Mushroom Golden brown Avocado green

A great thing about 3d printers is printing a tool that maybe 300 people on the planet have a need for. This is 24 needle selector for a 7mm knitting machine. Machine production ceased 32 years ago. Thankfully some nerd wanted one and shared the design with the rest of us. #knitting #machineknitting

The brochure that came with the Brother KX350 knitting machine is high art! Can you tell this machine was produced from the late 1980's -early 90's? #knitting #Machineknitting

FYI if you're working on older Japanese technology & you see Phillips head screws, NO YOU DON'T! They are most likely JIS Screws. You can use a JIS screwdriver on Phillips screws going the other way leads to heartache, pain and stripped screws.

After sitting on my desk for 4 days the Brother Kx350 knitting machine has been thoroughly cleaned and the sponger strip replaced. Now comes the giant PITA part, reinstalling the 130 needles under tension. So far I've done... 5

I need to cut back on my knitting machines they're not getting enough use. The KX-350 is on my desk for a service and then it's going out on loan and hopefully to it's new home.
