Picaxe controlled knitting machine

[tinyb]

Just been to sparkfun.com and they have just posted a video of a picaxe controlled knitting machine. it is cool, and as someone who is getting into e-textiles with students at school things like this inspire me.

Just one problem. no information or vision of the controlling board/s just of it working. if you build this machine is there any possibility that you could share some of the know how?

thanks

Blimey, knitting machines are more popular than Space Shuttles.

Why did someone post about picaxe knitting machines, now Dippy will want one for Christmas.

Is a knitting machine the proper way to create a Dr. Who scarf?
