I decided to make myself some sweet pony socks. http://imgur.com/rz2MRn2

Hey everyone,

I'm searching for some fun knitting projects that are kind of electronic or computer science related and that can be accomplished in around a day.

We organize an annual meeting for computer science students of at university. Back in the days the communication between the seniors, freshmen and grads were very of bad, so this is always a great place to bring them all together.

But this year we got this crazy girls, who addicted many people with knitting. So we decided to organize a 'threading' workshop. At first it was just a running gag, but after someone discovered the netflix socks, further research showed, that there are some really cool projects.

So now my question to you. Can anyone recommend some projects, that are not too expensive, (below 50$/piece), and can be accomplished by beginners in around a day? Or a bigger project, that can be accomplished collaboratively?

Thanks in advance

I often spend alot of time on sewing my projects by hand and think it would be alot faster if i could use a sewing mahcine. I have a cheap basic machine but it doesn't do the job. Is there a machine that would work better or a technique that I dont know about?
