Heavy Metal Knitting World Championship
Heavy Metal Knitting World Championship
Winter in Finland is long and dark. Even the domestic women in the land of reindeer get bored. Creativity led them not to making thicker sweaters, but combining their favorite winter pastime with something completely different: Heavy metal music. They put together the first Heavy Metal Knitting World Championship. Armed with needles and a yarn of wool, teams of avid knitters danced Thursday to the deafening sounds of drums beating and guitars slashing. The participants shared a simple goal: to showcase their knitting skills while dancing to heavy metal music in the most outlandish way possible. “It’s ridiculous but it’s so much fun,” said Heather from Scotland. ″When I saw there was a combination of heavy metal and knitting, I thought ‘that’s my niche.’” Finland has the highest number of heavy metal bands per capita in the world
A highway patrolman pulled alongside a speeding car on the freeway… Glancing at the car he was astounded to see that the blonde behind the wheel was knitting…
Realizing that she was oblivious to his flashing lights and siren the trooper cranked down his window, turned on his bullhorn, and yelled, “PULL OVER” “No!” the blond yelled back,it’s a scarf.”
Winter’s coming so I’m knitting you a muffler. What size is your mouth?
What did the knit cap say to the Afghan?
“You stay here, I’ll go on a head.”
How did the heavy metal knitter make a suit of armor? She used steel wool!
