A quick googling says that lego knitting machines have been built. Now it's just to program them! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV19wqtfyF0

Is it only a matter of time before you can get generative AI to create a pattern based on a prompt and then some service mails gift wraps and mails it to you/friend (along with video of the lego machine making it)? Just in time for the holiday season :D

Added: there are lots of internet discussions about how crochet, unlike knitting, cannot be automated. But deeper digging turns up a company called Comez and a company called Taiwan Dahu that seem to make massive industrial ones.
