Knitting by LEGO

Yes, we know that virtually anything can — and sooner or later will — be built from LEGO blocks,* so this should be no surprise. But, the other night a friend pointed out this YouTube video for the LEGO knitting machine. It's a lovely film, complete with very appropriate soundtrack (Phillip Glass?) I was fascinated, and it operates slowly enough to see exactly what it's doing. Well, it's knitting, of course, but you'll understand finally what knitting is.
