Knitting is not yoga.

Although knitting may be calming, meditative, etc., it is still at heart a sedentary pursuit.  Sure, you can knit standing up; in the car (as a PASSENGER!); on a boat; on a plane; on a train (yep, done them all).  As an inveterate multitasker, I have certainly tried combining knitting and other activities.  TV plus knitting usually works; phone-clamped-between-ear-and-shoulder plus knitting works (although after a long conversation, yoga is more needed than ever); online bill-pay plus knitting saves no time, and markedly increases the likelihood of sending your mortgage payment to the phone company.    The problem is that knitting is repetitive motion, and no matter how much I try to relax my shoulders and wrists, they insist on kinking after a certain amount of time.  Yoga (I do a modified Bikram routine), unlike knitting, removes the kinks; sadly, all of the yoga poses I can think of specify what you are supposed to do with your hands--and it's not knitting.  On a particularly hectic day, I did try to combine the treadmill and knitting--why not?  I read and treadmill all the time.  Well,  I'll let the photo speak...that's Grandma's scarf there, next to my sneaker.  Hmm...maybe if I forgo the iPod....
