A view of the (currently under inflated) ball chair with homemade csm fabricated knitted fabric cover in Birkeland Wool.
Still to do: inflate ball and sew on Velcro for securing ball to wheel mount (makes it safer to use).
Initial post:
Progress update: (silent video) here is a view of edge stitch securing with my sewing machine.
The fabric shown is Birkeland Wool worked in the round using 52 stitches of a 54 cylinder on my Legare 400. I then cut up the tube on one of the two rows of unknitted stitches.
Due to this very fibre-rich, fuzzy wool the only way to get it to knit on my csm was to set it on the loosest machine tension creating a fairly dense knitted fabric. I’ve been working though my different Birkeland Wool lately in this manner with the idea of making a blanket.
This last fabric (shown here) is being made into a new side project - ball chair seat cover (being finalized in the next day or so)
