1. Knitting to some of us is the new yoga!
   Reminds me that last year I attempted to start a knitting group at the Medical Center where I work as a nurse. All I wanted was to use an empty classroom once a week and vowed I’d clean up after. I was told that, “The hospital was in the business of promoting health and in their opinion knitting didn’t qualify.” I was shocked! I guess some people just don’t see it our way. To me knitting is my sanity, my meditation and yoga all rolled up in one.

2. Thank you for a much-needed giggle. At least there is a benefit to be had from knowing this (sad, sad) fact: more yarn for the rest of us! Happy knitting.

3. Knitting sure ain’t yoga. I never sweat that much after knitting. ;)

4. I think I’ll stick with the yarn, if it’s all the same. I think I’m less likely to hurt myself with knitting.

5. hmmm…in my area it’s Knitting 2, Yoga 20

6. I don’t know after some of my knitting marathons I started to feel like some sort of stretching and deep breathing exercise was needed beforehand. Sounds like yoga to me.

7. I have recently returned to pilates after four years away and I must say that I truly knot my body up while knitting…. my pilates instructor marvels at how off center my head is and I think it must be from hours of indian-style on the sofa while knitting… I am half tempted to try sitting on a yoga map while knitting, but I don’t know about that….

8. Ohhhh, we don’t even have a YARN category in our yellow pages. You – are – like – so – lucky!

   ;)

9. Cracking up over here. I’ve noticed that inequity in phone books before, too.

10. Okay, everybody! Stand UP and Reach for the SKY!

    That’s better…

    I am a lucky girl to have so many yarn shops – many are not near my house, though. Chicago is a METROPOLIS – it reaches far and wide, from the boders of Indiana to the territory of Wisconsin.

    All those people are of the Tribe Chicago…

11. Hahaha – that’s awesome. Apparently now spinning is the new yoga too. We’ll see about that!
