yoga & knitting come together

It’s not a normal combination, and even now, it’s kind of a stretch, but yoga and knitting came together for me today.

After class, my teacher came up and said that she’d heard I was a really “awesome knitter.” I said yes, and started to say “did you want to learn?” but she had moved on: She knows a person who works at a small boutique in the city that sells yarn, clothing, and will sell knitted items if I’ve got some to sell. And she wanted to put me in touch with her friend, because she was all excited at the idea of me selling pieces. So, cool! Not that I have any body of work available for selling, but I do have some stash to work through.

I think this week, I’ll go over to the shop, poke around, get a feel for the style of the place, and then think up something to knit. Then I can talk to them about what kinds of things they might be interseted in, maybe. It got me thinking creatively, which was very exciting.

I’ll leave you all with these shots I took last night in New York, at the performance in honor of BKS Iyengar at City Center. It was weird, but the yoga was awesome.
