Events
During their annual spring sale which was March 12-15, 2009, Knit Purl in Portland, OR was giving free mini-workshops. One of which was “Chinese Knot”. Was it a knitting stitch called “Chinese Knot” or was it, y’know, actual Chinese knotting? Any Portland resident/visitors actually know?

Fashion
Apparently Slumdog Millionaire (haven’t seen it) started a new fashion trend of the moment with long lightweight scarves. Vague scarf wearing instructions at the link. There may also be a video, but with Javascript and such turned off I’m not sure and don’t care enough to turn it on and find out.

A website with instructions for tying a tie is an invention? You be the judge.
