Knitting is the new yoga

With winter looming ahead and crazes dying down at the moment pick up something that's actually, genuinely useful-knitting. I love knitting, although I will admit most of my time is spent unknotting the wool from its sorry tangled state. It is definitely not just restricted to Grannies from the olden days (you would never see either of my grandmothers picking up the needles to make a cosy jumper) and it is crazy how many free -emphasis on free- patterns you can find on the Internet.  The satisfaction of finishing the wooly accessory is one that can't be beaten, especially if, like me, it takes you until at least 2 winters after you started your new knitting project. Don't knock it, it's like ice tea, I guarantee you will end up hooked!
