This is my current reading lent to me by Ferret Sue. An interesting read - the basic theme concerns how the act of knitting can help clear our minds and lead to meditation and other worthwhile thoughts. I certainly find knitting calming particularly after a hectic day at work and if I am stressed I definitely knit more than usual.
One of the examples given is that of Waldorf or Steiner schools where learning crafts including knitting is integral to the education process. Rudolf Steiner, the man behind these schools has said "thinking is cosmic knitting".
Don't you love that thought?
