11/29/2004 Entry: "Nanometer 'Knitting' for Futuristic Clothing"

Jack sent me this one because of the knitting connection, but it turns out there's no knitting involved. It's still very cool, though -- spinning nanotubes could lead to smart yarn. Roland Piquepaille includes a few pictures of the tiny fibers being spun together. Future uses could include bandages and body armor.
