We’ve had it with all these dark hardware hacking conferences. We’re giving up on Hack-A-Day and becoming Craft-A-Day. From now on we’ll be featuring great content like the latest knitting needle mods, yarn spinning and scrap booking. It’s been a great ride, but from now on we’ll see you at Hobby Lobby.
Thanks for setting us straight, [Steve].
sweet! knitting needles have always been the one thing i couldn’t hack.
My god, if it wasn’t for all of the other April Fools’ Day crap I have heard, I might have believed this for a second.
Nice try.
You jerks, thanks for ruining an amazing site! I’m never coming here again!!
;)
Which Hobby Lobby, the RC Hobby Lobby?
Haha, Craft-a-Day
Clever name. But wouldn’t the REAL April fools prank be if this wasn’t a joke?
Good one, but need to be a bit more subtle for the people here i think.
Its been great since i learned of this site. i wanna get something up. but i suck. and all that normal lazy non-sence
Livin’ up the last 30 minutes of April Fools on the east coast for ya’.
Aww, you should’ve changed the logo though…
;)
Dude, WTF ???? i hope is a joke.
bwhahaha I dare you to post some craft hack tomorrow and change the logo….
haha….
that scared me for a second. glad it isn’t true *phew*
why are u still in beta?
Yay, finally I can get out my sewing needles and…. my soldering iron… and fuse the two genres together :P
Come on now, that wasn’t believable at all. You should have done something really crazy but just believable enough to get readers like “Homebrew Nuclear Fission Electrical Generator” or “80MPH Segway”.
Wait, weren’t those posted here before?
Are you changing the skull and wrenches for a ball of yarn and knitting needles?
disappointed you didn’t change title bar to reflect your new name…..
i no i submited it but wtf no leds?????
my 7 year old dauhgter could make a better hack then this pos.
hakckaday sux now this aint even a hax.
Is this a bad time to ask what to do with my old NES consoles since all of their controllers are being modded?
just like the make website!
THAT SCARED THE SHIT OUTA ME GOD DAMN CRAFTS ARE FOR NERDS HACKS ARE FOR GEEKS AND IM A GEEK
You knit-wits! Thanks for the hack-a-day stickers @ shmoocon –I’m working on a mod to turn them in to craft-a-day stickers. Basically, you cut off the wrench ends to make it look like a pair of knitting needles, and then you use the leftovers to turn the skull in to a smily face.
Pfft, too much knitting. I wanna see some articles on Bridge and the proper making of afternoon tea.
Hahaha quality stuff. I almost cried, you bastards!
Knitting? I’d better switch to stranded wire.
where is out craft for today?
LOL ^^
I’m laughing my pants off ^^ “Thank you steve”
And not a moment too soon! On the same day that Hack-A-Day (now Knit-A-Day?) ran this story, the SolderSmoke podcast reported on efforts in the New Jersey State Legislature to CRIMINALIZE the use of soldering irons in the home. Check it out in SolderSmoke #52. http://www.soldersmoke.com So stay out of trouble gentlemen — turn in those soldering irons and pick up your knitting needles! I’m trying to knit a Hallicrafters HT-37 right now!
i thought this site was for crafting? not hacking???
hah, thanks for the jab will. yes i’ve been knitting too much. i promise the next big project will have fiber optics in the knitting. *smile*
Would to see them knitting needles on the next Hack a Day giveaway package .
Don’t eat the paste.
haha, good one, but you should really have tried turning it into a gay community and call it fagaday.com
Here, give this one a try. Done in 30 seconds. :P

nice one!…you had me thinking Hack-a-day was going down…:(
Hmmm… has anyone made an automated knitting machine that uses knitting needles?
Ooooo!! Everyone should call their joke bluff and only send in crafts and things
CAN YOU SHOW ME HOW TO INSERT LED’S IN THE END OF THE NEEDLES SO MY MOM CAN KNIT IN LOW LIGHT OH AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECHARGEABLE.
Great ! I have a hack to use the irons as wireless antennas :)
I love april fools day.

OK, april fool’s was yesterday (and is the dumbest holiday ever), but http://www.enm.bris.ac.uk/anm/preprints/2004r03.pdf which is an old but good article about a knitted Lorenz manifold.
OH MY GOD! GRANDMA IS GOING TO LOVE THIS!
OMFG i was about to cry.
i totally forgot about April 1st. as everyday, i get up, i check hackaday(due to my timezone 0700h is the average time a new hack is on) and was soo frustrated.. all the way till i got to the office and finally had time to check out the [read] link… good one, seriously..one of the few ones i ever fell for..just didn’t expect that from you..
