Here's another interesting knit project by artist Ben Fino Radin. This particular object takes the shape of an old Macintosh 128k computer from the 1980s.

Very cute... only it isn't really knit. It's stitched on plastic canvas. Are those inserts for changing the screen?

Knit not

That's not a knit Macintosh. See the caption: "plastic canvas and yarn". Knitting is something very different.

Not knit

Not knit. Needlepoint. Still fun.

you call yourselves makers?

Everyone's right; that's needlepoint not knitting.
And as egregious an error as saying it's a needlepoint IBM 5150.
