If you are short on clocks and scarves, the Knitting Clock is the answer to your prayers. This clock from designer Siren Elise Wilhelmsen knits one scarf every year, which is more than many of us have probably knitted our whole lives.
There have been some truly cool clocks featured on Trend Hunter before, but probably none have ever been as useful the Knitting Clock. A clock that makes clothes is always a win in my book.
