I’ve discovered the youTube channel of a 60 year old person (int301) in Taiwan which consists entirely of Chinese knotting instructions. The videos are silent, so the only language issue is the titles of the videos themselves. That’s where I can help a bit. 8) The following translations are not formal with canonical knot names, they’re just off the cuff notes I took for myself when I was looking at the videos

Somewhere in China there is (or was) a street lined with giant glowing mystic knots.

Feeling unequal to the task of dealing with my massive backlog of links that I need to post at the time, I decided to fiddle with the blog itself. I put in a blogroll on the side, and a Google gadget to translate the page for people who would like a translation (I didn’t read the source code before I included it, bad, Carol!, I wonder if the readers need enough English to read the “Google Translate” part… 8). I’m going to try it to see if it will translate all the non-English bits that are in this post into English. 8)

IWOM is removing all content from her blog in less than half a day (morning of July 25, Hong Kong time). She encourages you to copy the content if you want to keep it. Ranging from illustrated tutorials, student galleries, her own work and Hong Kong shopping tips, there is much to keep. I went through last week and probably downloaded over half the pages.

Events
