Are you getting sick of knitting yet?

Becky Stern at Craft posted about her awesome new project "Knitted Interfaces for Technology":
In this paper, we propose a participatory installation that aims to bring critical awareness and consideration to the complex relationship between people and their technological artifacts. These 'Body-Technology Interfaces,' (BTIs) in the form of hand-knitted custom wrappers for personal electronic devices, will reflect salient interaction behaviors between the participant and their chosen device.




How cool are they?
