Shazbot!

When I saw this article on a web site that highlights new technology and innovative inventions (the kind of thing that appeals to technogeeks, who are, let's face, mostly male), I bet I was the only one who thought to myself, "I wonder what size needles you'd need to knit with that yarn?"
