It’s back! HEAVY METAL KNITTING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

According to serious scientific research, Finland has more metal bands per capita than any other nation on the planet. It is the most metal country on earth. No wonder, then, that this is where we’d find the second annual Heavy Metal Knitting World Championship.

Here’s a brief summary of what we saw last year.

This year’s event will happen July 15-16 in the city of Joensuu, which is a good drive northeast of Helsinki near the Russian border. Should you wish to apply to compete, go here.
