PC's Newest Product...what is it?

[jacksmomma]

So who else got the email teaser from PC?! Any guesses as to what it is? It is supposed to be something that changes the crafting world and creativity as a whole...

Start Guessing!

 

[jacksmomma]

Okay...me first, I think it is some sort of a computer. There is no crafting category listed so it seems universal. So I am guessing a laptop like computer with ways to share and store your work, whatever it may be. Knowing PC is will have a pricetag of about $1000!

I got that email, too, and wondered what it could be. Your guess sounds pretty good! All I could think of was something that would tie all of it together--that would do it, plus maybe allow you to add in digi-scrapping. PC takes over the world!!

I did find it odd that it specifically mentioned knitting. Not that the thing would have anything to do with knitting, they just used that word. Hmmm. . .

I agree! I caught that knitting reference too. However I remember seeing an existing product, the Knifty Knitter on the Cricut boards. Never bothered to google it, maybe I will now.

Also a week or so ago I got a PC survey asking some techie questions...

I can't even fathom a guess. It will be interesting to see what it is.

In the ad on the cricut boards they don't mention the knitting part, I wonder if they took that part out.

Some people are wondering if it's an embroidery machine.

I'm not holding my breath for anything special. PC has been disappointing to me lately. They claim they don't have the resources to develop Mac based software but they can make new machines????

What I find kind of funny though is they are offering an essay contest to win the machine. Well how do I know I want it if I don't know what it is?!?!?

I got the email. It's very strange. The hand knitted socks reference was oddball.

I do remember the tech survey. I have no idea, but I no doubt will neeeeeeeeeed it, and it will be expensive

Exactly! How do you know what to say or what to mention if you have NO CLUE what it is?! That seems sort of backwards to me.

I am thinking maybe it is an machine that can take your cricut images(basic ones) and sew it onto your page or something like that. I love the sewing look on pages. My mom brought an extra machine she bought and it is still sitting in the box. I have no clue how to use it

I couldn't figure out that email either. I gave up trying to figure it out!

No ideas either, but I'm sure I will want it.
