I purchased a domestic knitting machine from the 1980s and turned it into a printer. Find out how I did it using Python to talk to the machine and custom hardware builds to upgrade its components.

I'll also provide a showcase of some of the artwork I knit today including scarves, laptop covers and blankets.

This talk was given at Linux.conf.au 2018 (LCA2018) which was held on 22-26 January 2018 in Sydney Australia.

linux.conf.au is a conference about the Linux operating system, and all aspects of the thriving ecosystem of Free and Open Source Software that has grown up around it. Run since 1999, in a different Australian or New Zealand city each year, by a team of local volunteers, LCA invites more than 500 people to learn from the people who shape the future of Open Source.
