While perusing the October issue of Yoga Journal Magazine (they have a great new site layout, you should give it a browse), I decided to read through the Letters section to see what readers have been saying about the publication. Much to my surprise did I find a letter – a positive one, I might add – about my first nationally published piece from their September issue:

A Stitch In Time

While I have not yet mastered knitting on two needles, I have crocheted for a number of years. I have long thought that handicrafts – or fiber yoga, if you will – can be meditative. So thank you for Victoria Everman’s article on knitting (“Stitched Together,” Sept. ‘07).

I squealed out loud when I read that; cheesy, I know, but I did. A big thank you to Cynthia for taking the time to write in to Yoga Journal to show her appreciation for my piece. Also, a mega thank you to Tara Jon Manning, who graciously spared some of her busy time to answer some questions for the piece. Tara also mentioned the article on her blog today, so go and show her some love!

Haven’t read the piece yet? You nut bar! Though I recommend buying the whole issue (I’ve been a subscribed for years and haven’t once been disappointed), you can also read the piece and see scans from the magazine here on my site.
