KnitYak

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/k…

@hyphybyterhymer this series of scarves are the actual ROM track converted into an image :)

@KnitYak Heh, well ResEdit never shipped with MacOS by default. That's for sure, yet the Bomb? It should be somewhere in the stock OS, if not in ROM?

Has horrible flashbacks to the worst computer my family ever owned. Could I at least get a ResEdit or a Bomb icon thrown in there? Because, Bombs were prevalent, and ResEdit was the only think to make that OS and apps even slightly useful.

@synapticlee @qrs sure! dm-ing

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

A few more are in stock since the first batch sold out pretty fast today:

@NothinRandom @Tesla @elonmusk Model shot for @fbz 😂

I got my cyber hat (@dustrial) and my cyber scarf (@fbz) and my dade jacket and my meatpistol shirt and it's good to be back in Seattle.

@KnitYak @fbz 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
