I have never knowingly knitted, nor do I
own a Wii, but both look like fun.
So.
You pick up two Wii remotes, select your
yarn and needle size from the pull-down
menu, and begin to knit.
As the simulated needles click-clack, your
simulated knitwear grows on the screen
before your very
eye.
When you've finished that fetching
cardigan, you can give it to Super Mario or
his brother to wear in his on-screen japes.
Reminds me of

Also a great way to earn a living in Second Life. |

Genius. I've played on a Wii, and although it is indeed great fun (and hard work), it gets a bit tiresome after a while. You need a plethora of different styles of game to keep it interesting. Although I've never knitted, I would gladly challenge someone to a Wii knitting race.[+] |

(+) Export the finished garment to your Mii. |

Nice. I'm not sure about the market for it though, whereas there would be a huge market for Wii Tai Chi - I'm slightly surprised no one's done this yet actually. |

"What have you knitted there dear? It looks like a glove with one finger longer than the other two. Oh my Lord, Timothy, I knew video games would warp your mind." |

"Export the finished garment to your
Mii."
Call it a Mii-shirt. |

Cyclopean knitting always used to be frought with danger, but now Polyphemus' pals can knit away without fear of having their eye out. Huzah! [+] |

Have a knitted croissant. + |

ohmigod. No. The biggest enjoyment derived from knitting comes from creating something tangible from nothing. The act itself is very relaxing and calming, but hardly "fun". |
|
| |
While this is an interesting idea technologically, I think you'd find it to be like videogame sex: not nearly as fun as you might have hoped. |

is it just me or is the 'bakery having a bad case of wii-arrhea? |
|
| |
Don't you mean "diawiia"? |
|

I made a note in my sketch book when I
first saw one of the Wii systems : "Wii
Knots" so I like this + |
|
| |
Learning through muscle memory is baked, but to incorporate the Wii for knitting is brilliant. [+] |

Ok. Personally, I think it's interesting. As a person who does both from time to time, I wouldn't want it. But to answer the question "Would other people like this?" I think the answer is "no". Wii-minded people will likely get bored with it fairly quickly. Knitters wouldn't even want to give it a go. |
|
| |
Or, are you saying you find computer simulated sex enjoyable? :) |
|
| |
I find it OK, but those toner cartridges get
bloody hot. That's one mistake I'm not
making again. |
|
| |
I would get this game but the problems with it are obvious. You would soon get bored with it and who would buy it anyway (except me.) Unless you charged £10 for it, no one would buy it. |
|

//and who would buy it anyway (except

Well, that's our software development
costs covered. Anything else is pure
profit. |
|
| |
I guess you could charge £15 but people are going to start think you're ripping them off. All your doing is kniiting on the wii and it would be much cheaper. In the long run however, you would be saving yourself some money. It really depends on how you look at at it. |

i wonder if the wii has dance notation software yet |
