Slightly Amplified Knitting enables those who knit to further add to the experience by increasing the resulting sounds.
It consists of a set of knitting needles with built in mini-microphones that broadcast the resulting clickings and scrapings to a speaker hidden in the ball of wool. The volume is
best set to slightly louder for maximum subtle effect.

I knit, and I approve. Though me thinks you have a
strange brain sometimes. |
|

// spoons //
I'm not sure about this one, unamplified soup sucking noise is enough for me. |
|
| |
I thought this was going to be about physical amplification - i.e. linking normal-sized needles to giant ones and knitting with 1" rope. See [link] for Waldo = remote manipulation. |

Can't wait for the slow-mo close-up video of the
knitting with highly amplified sounds. |

Avast! It's the Black Purl! |
|

Thank goodness...As long as it's not The Green Pearl. |
|

I do not know this term 'green pearl'... and I am not sure that I want to.
Do I want to? |

How bout having the sounds trigger separate audio
samples? So instead of the clicking and scraping
sounds you
would hear: |
|
| |
- explosions and gunfire - diabolical laughter -
horror movie sound effects - porno movie
soundtrack moans and groans - a step sequence of
all the parts to Flight of the Valkyries - the latter
being my favorite. |
|
| |
By step sequence I mean that with each loop,
stitch and hook you get the next note in the song
played. So it would be like: Loop-Dun... Stitch-
Dun... Hook-DunDun... Parry (or whatever)
Daaah... Etc. People would definitely
say "Wow! What are you knitting?" |
