Oh, no! I certainly would not be able to knit on the treadmill. If I don't
hold on I get thrown off! I could though most definitely knit on the
stationary bike!
I know, I know, I am a klutz. But being totally blind I don't get a sense
of when I am not keeping up with the treadmill unless I am holding onto the
handle.
Now the real trick would be to be able to spin and knit at the same time!

Awesome idea, Lynda. Right now, I don't have any projects going that would
be good for walking and knitting but I just got one set of my sock yarn and
haven't had a chance to start them yet. Better yet, that might be a great
time to do a gauge swatch (I have excellent tension). Knitting, exercise,
and podcast or audio book sound like a great combination.
