OMG, I can't even imagine how someone could run and knit at the same time. 
I remember being at a meeting, and I was impressed that a woman was able to
stand up and knit at the same time, but running is a whole other story.

I'm sure we would burn more calories while chewing gum than eating cookies,
lol.

Linda I don't know about you, but I can eat more than one cookie in an hour.
Lol

Wonder how many calories you can burn if you knit and chew gum at the same
time?

There was a section in the book where it talked about people who knit and
run at the same time.  I wonder how they keep up with the yarn?

I would be afraid of tripping and stabbing myself with my knitting needles.

Just think how many calories they must burn.

Hi Nela:

Thanks for sending these questions...they were entertaining and interesting.

I found the calorie burning answer especially useful...does this mean one
hour of knitting will cancel out eating one cookie?

Here are the answers to the Want To Know Wednesday quiz.  I have also
attached it as a word document if that is easier for some.



I promise some of the answers will make you laugh.



One.  Which of the following terms was used for a crafting get together?



a.       a sit and knit

b.       A yarn social

c.       A frolic

d.       A knit off



The answer is a frolic.  I made up all the rest.  The book gave other terms
such as a knitting circle, a knit in, a knitting bee and a stitch and bitch.



Two.  How many calories do you burn from knitting for one hour?



a.       79

b.       87

c.        96

d.       102



The answer is 102, who would have ever thought it.



Three.  What kind of fabric did Betsy Ross use to make her flag?



a.       Cotton

b.       Hemp

c.        Silk

d.       Wool



The answer is hemp; supposedly it was made of 100% hemp.



Four.  Which of the following was never a vintage yarn color?



a.       elephant breathe

b.      dead Spaniard

c.       Paris on fire

d.       Flea

e.      Flies and Roses

f.        Stifled sigh

g.       Lusty gallant



The answer is Flies and Roses.  I had so much fun with this one.  You would
not believe all the terrible color names given to vintage yarns.  There was
even one call goose turd.  I'm sure glad I didn't have to shop for, or wear
the yarn back then.



Five.  Which country produces the most wool?



A.      Australia

B.       China

C.       New Zealand

D.       United Kingdom



The answer is China.



Six.  Which state produces the most cotton?



a.       Texas

b.       Georgia

c.        Alabama

d.       Mississippi



The answer is Texas.



Seven.  How much mohair does it take to make a light weight sweater?



a.       14 ounces

b.       16 ounces

c.        18 ounces

d.       21 ounces



The answer is 16 ounces.



Eight.  Which of the following is not another name for the Knitting Spool?



a.       Knitting Nancy

b.       French Knitter

c.        Lazy Lizzie

d.       Corker

e.       Knitting Tower



The answer is Lazy Lizzie.  A knitting spool has been called a Busy Lizzie,
but not a Lazy Lizzie.

Nine.  Which of the following breed of sheep are not raised for their wool?



a.       Merino

b.       Shetland

c.        Columbian

d.       Katahdin

e.      Southdown Babydoll



The answer is Katahdin.  Katahdin sheep have hair, not wool.  Their hair is
quite short and sheds out in the spring and summer.  They are raised for
meat.



Ten.  In what year did the United States Post Office issue a knitting themed
holiday stamp?



a.       2007

b.       2001

c.        1997

d.       1991

The answer is 2007.
