From taking a vintage look at textile production last week, this week we skip ahead to the World Maker Faire in New York, 2011.

Andrew Salomone uses a knitting machine from the 80s which has been hacked to allow it to print digital images direct from the computer onto knitted garments. in the film, Andrew demonstrates the knitting machine and shows off his creations, which include a Bill Cosby style sweater (which features Bill Cosby wearing the same sweater).

Get involved

If you have an online craft film you would like to share, we would love to hear from you. We're looking for films that showcase craft makers, special craft projects/exhibitions, enterprises, or other fun and quirky films that help to celebrate craft. 

It could be a film of you at work, a narrated film about the inspiration behind your craft, a film made for an exhibition, or something else. 

Just email laura@craftscotland.org with the following details:

• A short description of the film, including any credits
• A link to the film on YouTube, Vimeo, or another channel
• Whether or not you have a profile page on Craft Scotland

You do not need to be on the Craft Scotland site to send us your films, but films about Scottish craft, makers and places will be given priority.

Alternatively, you can tweet a link to your craft film to @craftscotland.

Please note: at this stage we are not looking for instructional, 'how to' type videos for this feature.
