[Nfb-krafters-korner] Magic Loop

[River Woman]

Just kidding about knitting and exercise. I love to exercise and work out 
and I lift weights three days a week.  Whatever I am doing, I am focused 
only on that thing.  And, when doing cardio, I am so into it there would not 
be a chance of even talking to anyone at the same time.  Now, maybe the 
drinking of wine with knitting would be good, but then, the Merlot makes me 
sleepy so I guess I will just have to knit in my dreams after drinking it. 
Splendid ideas.  Lynda
