Chinese knitting needles! 中文的织针

Okay, in a few days, I'm going on my big vacation of the year! Yipee! Two weeks in Korea and one week in China. In anticipation of my week in Beijing (北京), I've been hunting through my colleague's Chinese dictionary for relevant knitting and crochet words. I thought I'd share what I found, though I won't know if these are the words that people actually use until I get there... I'll also post one on Korean. For the Chinese words, I'll give the English translation, the Chinese characters, the Pinyin Romanization, and the literal translation of each character. Since I can't seem to get the various accents for pinyin, I'll write the number of the tone after the relevant syllable. 1 is a high level tone, 2 a rising tone, 3 a falling-rising tone, and 4 a falling tone. Have fun and 再见!

Hey KP,

Came across your blog via Seoul SnB site (may be at the 10/15 meeting-haven't been there yet). Looks like you have a great stash. Just wondering if I would know you from knitty.com. I have the same user name there. Hope you have a great vacation!

[b]Description[/b]

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also you can find on our sites.
Generic [url=http://viagra.wilantion.ru]Viagra 100mg pills[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
