143 pages : 23 cm, \"The future was once a beckoning landscape where technology would make all things possible and provide for a near-perfect life. Space travel! Robot maids! Personal jetpacks! Mind-controlling ray guns! Pac-Man! Sadly, apart from video games this future never quite materialized, but memories of it still linger in popular culture. Knits of Tomorrow celebrates this ideal world-that-never-was, along with past and present technological wonders, and will appeal to any techno-geek today or to those who knit for them. Knits of Tomorrow features a range of projects, all with a technological bent. The book starts with a section on the basics of knitting and then has 20 original and creative projects. They are mostly quick and simple-toys, accessories, and home de;cor items such as rocket ship desk caddies, circuit-board scarves, and a Space Invaders pillow. There are practical projects as well-tablet covers, laptop bags, and iPod cozies. While playful and fun, the projects are primarily aimed at an adult audience, albeit one with a taste for sci-fi, Dr. Who, video games, and electronic gizmos past and present.\"--, \"Celebrate your inner geek with knitted projects that perfectly capture a retro-future vibe\"--, Includes index, Machine generated contents note: Projects may include: -- Rocket desk caddies -- Circuit Board Scarf -- Reel-to-Reel tote Bag -- Calculator tablet cover -- Cassette Tape iPod cozy -- Saturn tea cozy -- Ray gun potholders/placemats -- Space Invaders pillow and sweater -- Pac-Man hat and mittens -- Space Race mobile -- K-9 dog sweater -- Radio Flash socks -- Headphone earwarmers -- Robot doorstop
