Hand Knitted Clock



    A knitted clock is such an original idea. This is Gomitolo clock designed by Carlo and Benedetta Tamborini. This funky wall clock is knit of cotton and comes in thee different colors. It's large at aprox 20" in diameter. Yes, this clock really works! 




   This is the one of the most genius clocks, I've ever seen! This "clock" is by Siren Elise Wilhelmsen which knits a scarf in one year!


You can find out how to make a circular one HERE by Liat Gat

 HERE is my favourite - very funny and colourful clockwork.

 

 Or you can knit a beret-clock HERE.

Did You Know?

Stress Relief and Knitting


Doctors have finally realized what knitters always knew - knitting helps us to relax, puts us to the meditative state, which is so important for stress relieve and the optimum health.
Knitting helps us feel fulfilled because we are able to create something beautiful in the process and relieve stress as well. Knitting is both creative and organized. In this way it occupies the left brain to maintain the structure needed to follow the pattern, but also stimulates the right brain as a creative activity. So a part of the soothing, meditative effect could be a result of this as a possibly balancing activity, along with occupying the left brain which often is a source of stressful mental activity.
Knit, Enjoy and Relax!
