You know what's weirder than the random links that brought you to that knitterly warning, my thoughts run like that most days. Sometimes I wonder if I think in a different language. I blame the children :0)

Don't forget to join the Knitting Olympics, Team Brooklyn!

That sign must be from Singapore--only here do they have Malay and other languages that look like that on all the signs! I asked my dad, a Chinese linguist, what it's *supposed* to say, and we're not much closer to figuring it out, because the Chinese says "please shut the door quietly/gently." :)

This is hilarious. There was some bizarre Chinglish all over Taiwan, too, most notable on t-shirts and clothing.
Now heading to Ravelry to filter my friend activity--thanks for the heads up! :)

I love checking out friend activity, but often forget for a week or two, then wonder what I've been missing. I'm going to figure out the rss feed on my Thunderbird (I gave up on Bloglines, it was getting too slow at picking up the feeds, then when they blocked it at work I decided it was time to give up the ghost - other feed readers just haven't done it for me yet).

i for one, would only steek gently. :)

Ha! Does this mean your olympic project will include steeks?

i don't think i'll be participating in the knitting olympics this year, as i'm knitting a lot slower these days, but good luck! i also love the new ravelry rss feed feature. that last photo from the chinglish page is great. i had no idea what they were trying to say until i realized i could translate the vietnamese on the sign!

Oh that is too funny - I loved the Chinglish article!

That's pretty odd! I use to look at the Engrish all the time (but now it is being replaced by Lolcats), because it was interesting seeing how the language was used, like an international game of Telephone.

I'm kind of on the fence when it comes to the knitting olympics. I should probably decide soon, right?? I can't wait to see what you're planning on making!
