Sadly, KnitYak is shutting down as a project. We sold our industrial knitting machine to a computer science department at a university. Thanks for all of your support over the years! Read about it here: kickstarter.com/projects/fbz…

A few more are in stock since the first batch sold out pretty fast today:
Happy Mac / Sad Mac scarves back in stock: vintage Mac ROM from a Power Mac 5200 knit into a scarf. The ROM has hardcoded images in it. Comes with code by @qrs to make an image out of a ROM with a command line script for the exact wrap length of the scarf. knityak.com

I duplicated the scarf image using the instructions, and it worked! This is so awesome! It's really interesting to see the disk/mac icons embedded in the ROM so clearly
Awwww yesssss @KnitYak @fbz
