Is anyone else disappointed that you can't buy the wind-knitting device itself, only scarves knitted from the device? :)

I doubt it would be difficult to make. You can buy the knitting machine on amazon. They usually have a handle you can crank unless it is electric. Just attach a turbine to the handle.

I missed the (obvious) context and imagined an aircraft engine turbine attached.

you could, but the (original) website is from 2009...so probably not enough interest to keep that up. The old link is dead: https://windknittingfactory.bigcartel.com/

I'm disappointed it doesn't make socks.

I'd be surprised/impressed if the knitting machine itself was a DIY project.

I know this is art, but to be overly reductive, it's the same as buying your electricity from a wind farm and using it to power your knitting machine.
