We have a Brother KH-950 Knitting machine!

It can be hacked to knit over usb and to work automatically. This means you can 'print' pixle art in wool form!

Knitter won on a well-know auction site
Got a very strange look from the seller when I collected it "Is it...for you??!"
Briefly set up in Derby and ran for two minutes before the smoke escaped
Fault identified as a failed capacitor in the PSU. Spare cap will be collected from a well-known high street electronics company on Tuesday 5th July
Should be delivered to the Space on Sunday 10th July

Please could all pledges now be settled by transfer to the HackSpace account, with the unique reference "KNITTING".

+==Story so far==
-The knitter was recently "won" in an auction on a well-known auction site for £250.  The knitter is in Chesterfield and I'm currently arranging with the seller to go and collect it.  Hopefully this can be arranged for the weekend of 2-3 July, when I am next in the area.
