Ingenious Rocking Chair Knits a Hat for You as You Sway Back and Forth Like My Modern Met on Facebook Get Our Weekly Newsletter Knitting and sitting in a rocking chair are both relaxing activities that designers Damien Ludi and Colin Peillex have combined into one innovative, low-tech piece of furniture. Aptly dubbed Rocking Knit, this multitasking chair uses kinetic energy, produced from the rocker's gliding motion, to knit a winter hat as you gently sway back and forth. The chair both resembles and is used as a typical wooden glider. As you settle onto the bench, however, the machinery above goes to work. The gears start turning and draw the giant spool of yarn up and into the knitting round. With enough relaxation time, you'll have a red cap that Steve Zissou would be proud to wear. via [Laughing Squid, Inhabitat] Get Our Weekly NewsletterNewsDad films chilling scene in children's playground as swing moves on its own as if pushed by ghostIn the creepy mobile phone footage a solitary swing seat can be seen swaying of its own accord - while those around it remain stationary - and nobody playing A dad refused to let his kids play on a swing because of a ' ghost ' he filmed on a mobile phone enjoying a ride.
In the creepy footage which he uploaded to Facebook , a solitary swing seat can be seen swaying of its own accord - while those around it remain stationary. It has now been viewed more than 4.5m times and has had 87,000 shares and counting. Social media commentators were aghast at how the blue swing appeared to move erratically. The family were enjoying a day out in Warwick, Rhode Island, USA, when they came across the eery sight and he began filming. Dad Scotty Denton gave viewers a running commentary: "We're in the playground and the kids don't want to go anymore because look at this s***… "This is real, look at this. There's nobody on it, there's no wind. "It's been going on for two minutes. "This thing's swinging like crazy. This is dead serious. "I'm not playing around. There's nobody on there." The family remained in the safely of their car as the swing continued to sway - with no-one to be seen as far as the eye could see. Scotty added: "Look at the other swings, they aren't even moving" Mr Denton's son can be heard suggesting: "Maybe somebody pushed it?"

I recently purchased one of your hammocks and would like to say how fantastic they are. My granddaughter was born in September 2013 and my daughter has not had a night's sleep since. She is a really unsettled baby who has ended up in bed with Bethany my daughter on a nightly basis. As a first time mother she has found this time really difficult and it's been a worrying time for me to see how she's coping. Baby Isobella has used it for 2 nights and what the difference this as made. My daughter is a different person with a full night's sleep. I am a happy hammock user, and my baby is 20 months old and I am expecting another baby, and may have to purchase another hammock if I can't get the current user into a bed! I have found that colds and coughs did not linger, and were not a night time sleep disturbance, due to the position that the baby is held in.
In a bed or crib, one cannot force a baby to sleep with his head elevated, but in the hammock, this is the natural sleep position. Breathing was easier even with a stuffy nose, and night time coughing was kept under control, allowing my baby to be rested. Within the first 30 seconds of Luc being put in his nest he was fast asleep. He even went down awake! This was unheard of! From a little boy who couldn't sleep for more than 2 hours at a time, at the most, he is now sleeping for a minimum of 7 hours at a time at night. And if he manages to wake himself up and isn't hungry, his movement gently rocks him back to sleep! I now wake myself up to check he is OK, rather than him waking me up because he isn't OK. I can't thank you enough! Amanda, Terry & Luc All received and constructed!! Thank you for all your help, that kind of customer service is very rare and very much appreciated.
