Louisiana machine knitter Mark Anderson sent me images for a project he did using the circuit knitting technique I posted on instructables. He displayed the work at last month's New Orleans Mini Maker Faire. Note the Gemma microcontroller for extra-blinky action. Nice work, Mark!
Angeleah Daidone recently sent me this photo of the bracelet she made in my Circuit Building Workshop.
When I posted my knitted circuit instructable last month, I also entered it into Instructables' Battery Powered contest.
And... it took the grand prize! How cool is that???
I was, needless to say, thrilled for the recognition (and winning a new camera, tablet, and power tools ain't bad either!). I've posted two more instructables this month:
How to make your own e-textile Arduino
And today, how to solder stainless steel thread.
Lauren Singer of Houston, Texas (Ravelry ID: AuntieAnty) contacted me recently through Ravelry, to share Linen, Electronics and Diodes, a circuit-knit project she made with Glenn Manuel (Ravelry ID: Glennman), based on my knitted circuit design.
I'm thrilled to see people picking up the project and experimenting with new approaches. Lauren used 28AWG bus wire and a 50/50 cotton/linen blend. As far as I know, this is the first hand-knit version of the design (since I machine-knit mine). Very cool! I hope more will follow!
