They’re more than completely adorable. They’re great friends of ours. And while this town has been a little less awesome since they up and moved to Boulder last summer, we are glad to report that Mr. & Mrs. “Stevel Knievel” are doing fan-freakin-tastic. Stevel found a job making stuff that gets launched into space. And Lindsay has taken a hiatus from brain cancer research to join the team at SparkFun.
Lindsay and I crafted together every Tuesday night for a year. During that time she witnessed prototypes gone hilariously wrong – a hot pink jumbo garter/headband jumps to mind – but also got clear on my vision for the Tried & Trued line.
So she knew better than anyone that I’d flip out over LilyPad – a line of SparkFun products designed by Leah Buechley. They are “sewable electronic components that let you build your own soft, interactive fashion.”
Ok. Officially putting this on our Spring “To Do” list:
- Plant Garden.
- Drink Nettles Tea.
- Play with LilyPad.
While we develop a Tried & Trued interpretation of “interactive fashion,” check out Buechley’s tutorial for a turn signal bike jacket:
