Hacked Knitting Machine Experience Day
Overview
Welcome to the Hacked Knitting Machine Experience Day! Join me at Coburg House for a day filled with creativity and innovation. Learn about two knitting machine hacks, how to process images for knitting and create unique and personalized knitted piece to take home. This event is perfect for machine knitters looking to explore the intersection of technology and traditional crafts. Don't miss out on this hands-on experience that will leave you inspired and amazed!
The workshop will cover two approaches to using domestic knitting machines with digital images. We will cover the creation of suitable files and you will design and make a small piece to take home.
With only two participants per workshop you can be sure of personal attention and a student centred approach. There is an agenda for the day below for guidance but the timings are flexible.
Yarn will be provided and all tools will be available.
