It sort of looks like a rocket engine. This would be even more interesting if after it reached this stage it reversed itself and then kept cycling through. Knitting and then unknitting itself over and over. Perhaps even adding variations to the pattern. That would be cool. I like the image here. It sort of looks like a rocket engine.

Thing is, I read it while sitting in a hotel in Eindhoven. Some quick research showed that today is the exhibit's last day, and that the Designhuis, which turned out to be only a short walk from my hotel, closes at 6. So guess whatI spent the next 45 minutes doing? SOmeone posted a link to this post on a knitting list of mine; as a result I read it today, March 23, at about 5:15.
