Some interesting things I stumbled across:

There's a "Jumpers and Jazz" festival in Warwick that includes a men's knitting circle. How cool is that?

More cool knitting - there's a guy offering scarf knitting via a stationary cycle matched up with a knitting machine in a train station (German article with picture and video link). That seems to be somewhere in Belgium... but maybe there will be more Cyclo-Knitters in the future, who knows?

Not interested in knitting? Here is an article about factories - to be more precise, it's a book review, but it makes for an interesting read on its own.
