Not just for Grandmothers.
Knitting has been a long gone pastime especially with clothes, blankets, and scarves being just a few miles and dollars away. Even though they have brought back the therapeutic and original designs; Merel Karhof also made knitting eco-friendly. Karhof created a "wind-knitting factory." " The contraption is essentially a hand-made windmill, attached to a loom. As the wind blows, the loom is activated, allowing the factory to quite literally ‘spin’ a wind-powered scarf." Karhof also personalized the scarves by adding how long it took to make it and when the scarf was made by the wind.

Creates tube Scarves.
This may seem like it's making people lazy, when in reality I believe it's helping keep countries to their Child Labor Laws. If the wind can make our scarves than the children don't have to.

I was wondering if they are making any other type to clothing this way? Or is it only just scarves? This is really cool cause like what if there was a hurricain and there was 100mph wind and you would have miles and miles of scarves!
