Switzerland-based design students Damien Ludi and Colin Peillex of ECAL university have reinterpreted the rocking chair, and given it a multitasking-productive spin, while still keeping it as relaxing to the user. The ‘Rocking-Knit’ uses the to-and-fro rocking movements of the user to knit beanies for winter—combining the idea of a granny leisurely sitting in her rocking chair, while knitting winter-wear for her grandchildren. The kinetic energy generated while the chair rocks back-and-forth activates the gears and works the machine. An alternative to low-tech devices being useful and revolutionary, the Rocking-Knit makes the transition to winter more effortless.
How many old people do you think I will need to create this woolen onesie wonder?

Not much use for that in Tucson. Looks like the opposite of the Fremen stillsuit.
I just don't want to wear it as it gets wet and then dries. It would shrink three sizes that day.
Perfect for Canadian Fremen. Ya hya chouhada!
Long Live The Snowfall!
