A clock which knits 24 hours a day, 365 days a year…? Yes it’s true! Not only does it tell you the time, but by the end of the year it would produce a 2 metre long scarf! The Knitting Clock by Siren Elise Wilhelmsen demonstrates the core concept of knitting and the valuable time put in. We just love it.

”Morale was saved, which proved the rule:
There is no substitute for wool.
