Meet&Playback glove by Mary Huang
It is a glove that works with 2 capacitive sensors knitted with conductive yarn and a piezo sensor. Everytime you meet a friend, shake hands or give hi5, the glove store your meeting as a music note that you can playback like a random melody pushing the flower button on the other side of the glove. The idea is to store the memory of the persons you meet in the day and translate them into something that you can always listen to during the day.

Morse Corsage by Miu Ling Lam
Morse Corsage is an interactive installation that transmits and decodes Morse code. It consists of a wearable device, the corsage, which is made of a crocheted flower and custom electronics, and a processing program that listens and decodes Morse code messages sent from the corsage. Morse code is transmitted wirelessly via Bluetooth. The corsage is worn on the wearer’s wrist and he/she can send Morse code by pressing the push-button sewed on the corsage.

eTextile DIY community – LilyPond
The high-low tech team at MIT under the lead of eTextile innovator Leah Buechley started a very interesting project called LilyPond, a eTextile Web community and place for collaboration and sharing of eTextile projects.
LilyPond is aiming to pond the LilyPad community and to provide support for people who want to design and create soft, interactive circuits with the LilyPad Arduino toolkit.
Currently there are over 60 projects posted on the LilyPond site with a short description. The tutorial and resource pages are not yet in operation.
The LilyPond project team Leah Buechley, Emily Lovell, Kanjun Qiu and Linda Delafuente created a site which will become over time a great place to find infos around eTextile materials and techniques and a place to share eTextile designs with the community.
Even though some of the site’s functions are not yet available, browsing through the many project intros already available will serve as inspirational trip through the e-Textile world.

Craft Meets Tech at MIT
In this video Betty Stern come to the Media Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. There are e-textiles pioneer Leah Buechley and students from her research group called "High-Low Tech," which Leah describes as "blends" of technology with traditional crafts to make new toolkits for creativity and learning. Brilliant and fun projects by Hannah Perner-Wilson, Emily Lovell, David Mellis, and Bonifaz Kaufmann.
It is up to your creativity and fantasy to find a useful or fun application where you can use this instruction. Controlling light or sound effects on clothing related to arm movement could be one example but I guess there will be a long list of things to do with this idea.
What I like on Hannah’s step-by-step overview is the creative way how to jump from the textile electronic to the ‘hard’ world of conventional electronic. A simple but effective ‘interposer’ to connect to a standard Arduino board. This can be very useful for testing out new projects before integrating the electronic more seamlessly via the LilyPad Arduino.
The complete material shopping list and tools requirement can be found on her Instructables together with the very detailed step-by-step instruction how to build your own tilt sensor bracelet.
Hannah Perner-Wilson added a cute little DIY project to her growing Instructables collection: the Fabric & Bead Tilt Sensing Bracelet. esigned to make (electrical) contact when the metal bead is inside one of the conductive petals and when the bead ends up between two petals results in twelve position indicators.

David Bowie by Jared Brown
Jared Brown does embroidery. It sounds dull and worthy of making your nephews a pair of socks, but he ramps it up a notch by doing embroidery of classic retro pictures. Superheroes, Spock, David Bowie.... Brown must spend hours recreating his favourite memories in the medium of canvas and cross-stitch.
Open softwear
Open Softwear is a book about fashion and technology. More precisely it is a book about Arduino boards, conductive fabric, resistive thread, soft buttons, LEDs, and some other things. We started researching three years ago thanks to the support of K3, Malmö University School of Arts and Communication.
Authors T. Olsson, D. Gaetano, J. Odhner, and S. Wiklund got the chance to come together to write down their conclusions in the form of an illustrated book aiming at students and professionals trying to enter the field of physical computing from the softwear perspective.
More info and download the book:

The Open Source Embroidery
The history of computing as craft began with the Jacquard loom (1801), the first programmed machine which used binary punch cards to design woven patterns. The loom inspired Charles Babbage in his design of the Analytical Engine, often described as the precursor to the modern computer. Flare Productions’ documentary film about Ada Byron Lovelace, To Dream Tomorrow (2003) highlights the significance of her extensive notes about the Analytical Engine, and her insight into the potential of the machine to operate not just as a calculator of numbers but also as a computer of symbols and information. Richard Hamilton also featured Ada Lovelace in a poster campaign to save free public entry for the South Kensington Museums in London (1998). Issues of access to code and culture are still pertinent questions of our time.
The Open Source Embroidery exhibition brings together individual and collectively made artworks by artists, crafts people, computer programmers and html users which explore the relationship between craft and code, physical and digital space. The artworks experiment with interdisciplinary approaches to modifying patterns, the DIY culture of hacking and sampling in sound, GPS and mobile technologies.

Proyecto by Amor Muñoz: E-S-Q-U-E-M-A-T-I-CO-S
Con el proyecto “Esquemáticos: Gráficas Expandidas Funcionales”, propongo realizar dibujos expandidos de gran formato, utilizando y yuxtaponiendo recursos manuales como el textil y el electrónico. Se busca el uso de imaginarios electrónicos, como los esquemáticos, ya que son un referente histórico, global y funcional del desarrollo tecnológico contemporaneo. Es de mi interés vincular la abstracion de el dibujo técnico asociado a la tecnologia funcional, planteando tanto formalidades estéticas como procesuales que activen el imaginario colectivo.

LiLyPad Arduino embroidery
The LilyPad Arduino is a microcontroller board designed for wearables and e-textiles. It can be sewn to fabric and similarly mounted power supplies, sensors and actuators with conductive thread. The board is based on the ATmega168V (the low-power version of the ATmega168) or the ATmega328V. The LilyPad Arduino was designed and developed by Leah Buechley and SparkFun Electronics.

Open Source Embroidery in San Francisco
I'm proud to announce the opening of Open Source Embroidery, an exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Craft and Folk Art on October 2. It's a great show with lots of crafts intersecting technology, including my LilyPad Embroidery piece. The show has traveled all the way from Sweden and looks truly fabulous. You can check out pictures of what the exhibition looked like at the Bildmuseet in Umeå, or stop by in person when the show opens in SF; I highly recommend it!

We, the Knitted Terrorists, are committed to knittivism through the systematic and systemic use of knitted accessories, short rows and felt. We will spread the knittivist word by reporting on knittivist activities - all who fail to heed our message will be condemned to mass production, chilly winters and bad fashion. Join in. Be a knittivist. Knit a revolution. Now.

How do you make cross stitch radical?
If you spend a minute searching cross stitch patterns you will see that 99.9999 percent of the patterns are of wanky slogans, awful farmyard scenes or nauseatingly revolting marriage commemorations. There are a couple of exceptions and you can see their links below. What is needed is cross stitch with imagination and a message. How that’s done is of course up to you as we are all beautifully creative creatures. On this site I’ll put up some of my patterns (and the finished result when I get around to them all…) and hopefully some of yours when you get all inspired to make your own.
