KNiiTTiiNG teaches creative yarn tangling with the Wiimote

Created by Rachel Beth Egenhoefer and Kyle E. Jennings, KNiiTTiiNG uses Wiimote and Nunchuk motions to simulate the movements of knitting needles, in a Dance Dance Revolution-style game in which players knit and purl in response to onscreen prompts in order to create virtual tea cozies and such.
The project is currently in beta, but maybe if we're lucky we'll get some kind of homebrew release that uses the actual Wii, or at least a playable PC version. In the ideal situation, we'd remind the developers that WiiWare has no distribution or packaging costs! We'd love to use our expert waggling skills to learn a real, useful one.

AAAAHHHHH so many i's!!
Seriously, though, the extreme use of the two i's from Wii is kind of funny.

As a knitter *and* gamer, I can't quit picture this ...

If this was released to download for Mac, I'd be very interested.
Related question... does Darwiin work with the nunchuck?

We'll knit a blanket, a HUUUGE blanket!
Sony would have to out-knit us!

I`m sure the folks at retirement homes will STILL prefer Wii Sports.
It`s an interesting concept, however. For quite a niche demographic, but interesting.
