“Nike is in the air – To highlight the benefit of the Nike Air Max, the shoes were packed in air-cush

ion. The benefit of the product is transferred into the packaging, and made visible. The package

provides the best possible presentation of the shoe and a height advertising effectiveness. Due to

less usage of materials, it also contributes to sustainability.”~

Stayhold

Sometimes you don’t realize your behavior is actually compensating for a design flaw. That is, un

-til you see the solution. When borrowing a car and carrying anything heavy or delicate—a full to

-olbox, a few bottles of booze, a birthday cake—I always place it in the rear seat footwell. It wou

-ld be much more convenient to load into the hatch, but I don’t want those things sliding around

because I took the corner too hard after watching Fast & Furious 6. That’s where the Stayhold co

-mes in. The Velcro strip on the bottom adheres it firmly to the carpeting inside your car, allowing

you to wall things off against the edges or build your own little fort.

The materials needed for this project include a 3/8″ Lucite rod, several key-chain LED flashlights,

a red LED, a green LED, 2 X 10 Ohm resistor, heat shrink tubing,120 sand paper, a Scotch-Brite

pad, and a 10 Ohm resistor. It can’t be a terribly difficult project, as Random Canadian said ano

-ther smaller set of needles were also made.

“The cyano glue makes the cut ends optically pure when the plastic bits are joined, as long as

there are not big tool marks… I found this out on a previous project. saves quite a bit of time by

not having to polish the ends.”

So the next time you find yourself battling the dark side of the yarn, or you just want to knit in

the dark, whip up a set of these babies for all your nerd knitting needs!
