Knitting is Geeky

Ali's Knitta for Life Tattoo

As I pointed out in my last post, geeks are redefining the skull and crossbones. This time it’s Ali Crockett and her knitting tattoo. Ali and her “knitta for life” tattoo were spotted down at the local San Francisco hacker space, Noisebridge.

Of course the geek doesn’t stop at the tattoo, Ali is also responsible for Aniomagic, an online store selling kits that help you integrate electronics into your textile arts. Want to sew your own cloth iPhone remote? There’s a kit for that. Or maybe a programmable bracelet to remind you when your parking meter time is running out? Aniomagic can help with that too.

    Hi Ali, your, I think uncle Danny from Alto, NM, told me to come to this site and see your knitting tattoo. I’m a knitter, too; a Master Knitter and a certified knitting judge, and he wanted me to know that he had a knitter in the family. I’m sure your tattoo will promote knitting in your age group and that’s what we want to do. This craft almost died out 25 years ago and we need to keep it going with people like you. Keep up the good work!!
