The Japanese team Giga Body Metal were the winners of the first ever Heavy Metal Knitting World Championships held last week in Joensuu, Finland. The five person Japanese team featured crazy sumo wrestlers and team leader Manabu Kaneko dressed in traditional Japanese kimono. The purpose of the contest was to show knitting skills while dancing to heavy metal music.
It does sound like something strange that might happen only in Japan, but as you said, it was Finland that came up with the idea. They also had teams from all round the world competing. Well done, Japan, though. Their performance was very entertaining.
The Japanese always come up with strange and unusual things to do!!

ReplyDeleteIt must be difficult to dance while knitting and not tangle their “yarn”.
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun! I wonder what they've been making?
ReplyDeleteA strange concept, but fun to watch I bet
