(In my spare time.) OK, you're right, sometimes</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#000099;">I knit when I should be doing other things. I heard that knitting can actually help</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#000099;">to lower your blood pressure. So, it would suffice it to say that knitting is actually healthy!</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#000099;">If you think about it, you can't knit <em>and </em>eat simultaneously. So, it's great for dieting!</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#000099;">(Probably doesn't burn much calories though).</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#000099;">Anyway, I like to experiment with yarn. For instance, old t-shirts or plastic bags.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#000099;">I even tried raffia and yarn together. I thought I was going to make a bag or purse, but it's kind of looking like a work of art! </span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9305784316972427"; //728x90, created 12/4/07 google_ad_slot = "3778976984"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/602246128469798445-8299052331365793015?l=igottaknit.blogspot.com'/></div>knittingknerdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02053804841177735445noreply@blogger.com0
