Bad translation, Joe, or

Bad translation, Joe, or poetry? Edit just a bit and it reads like ee cummings:

"Profoundly mistaken misconception
That knitting is a hobby only lady.
Men also knit, more like knitting
and what a man!

Knitting should not be attributed to gender things!

Speak, men and knitting are not compatible
- it's like to say that a woman can not play golf.

Stupid sexist stereotypes
must be deferred
on both
sides."

This is great. Congrats to the lads mentioned and now I can [hopefully] remember how to get things translated. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.

For Google translator,

For Google translator, try
http://translate.google.com/#
Then copy and paste the Russian text in the box and it should automatically detect Russian as the native language. The translations are a bit difficult to decipher, but some are pretty manageable.
Congratulations, boys, on the fame! I think it's neat that knitting men are being noticed around the globe.

Thanks for the note, Kyle!

Thanks for the note, Kyle! And thanks for the translation tip, Kerry! It was a bit rough, but I got the same idea from it that you did.

Geez, I remember the days of college when we called the worldwide web the "Information Superhighway." Hahaha, how things have progressed!

If you go to the above site,

If you go to the above site, then use Google translate, you get a reasonable translation of the Russian. It's all about men breaking out of stereotypes and knitting. It mentions the MWK mentioned above with links to their blogs. hope this helps.

I clicked on recent events and got an encoded page but by hitting shift ctrl alt at the same time and clicking on the x all was revealed, it took a long time to down load. Unfortunately I don't speak Russian lol.
