knit(ing) clocks

I came across both of these this weekend. totally different, totally functional, both beautiful. these excite me.

The first one is the 365 Knitting Clock. Designed by industrial designer Siren Elise Wilhelmsen, this clock knits a 2-meter scarf over the course of one year. The clock includes a circular knitting machine with 48 needles, a thread spool, a thread holder, and roll of yarn- knits clockwise.

from the artist:

The 365 knitting clock was made to measure and register time in a three-dimensional form to visualize the otherwise invisible time factor that connects us all. Instead of showing time in numbers, the tool we normally use to understand and organize time. It is knitting the hours and the days and shows the time as something that is constantly moving, changing and developing. Every passing of a half hour is marked by the knitting of mesh, a full year results in a 2-m-long scarf. After one year, the yarn has to be replaced with a new one and a new year can be knitted. The year that has past is this year's scarf. And the coming year is the thread still unknitted.

This clock is the Gomitolo Oversized knit Clock. This comes in an array of colors, 2 sizes (so I have found). Gomitolo is the result of a collaboration between an industrial designer and a fashion designer; Carlo and Benedetta Tamborini. The clock is covered in an unusual knitted soft cotton cover which can be removed for washing. The other unusual aspect of this striking clock is its large size.

Opening Ceremony x A is for Apple

Leopard print blazers, mixed stripe shirts, ladylike blouses....sound like your wardrobe? (sounds a little like mine). It's the new collaboration between Opening Ceremony and A is for Apple, a children's clothing line based in Hong Kong...brilliant. Probably overpriced, but definitely adorable.
