Knit for Your Brains – Really!
This CBS GMA video below supports one of the reasons I got into knitting: mental fitness.
This video on CBS is about how knitting is a great way to occupy kids when the weather keeps them inside, either at school or home.
This article is about men knitting, and some even use knitting as a babe magnet.

In Brief…
My name is Eric Tischler, I'm 50 and began learning to knit in June of 2009 as a creative outlet as well as to develop my concentration abilities. I'm straight and single. Pretty well balanced left and right brain. I design web sites, work in technical support, have two cats (Max and Lucy), a good sense of humor and a spiritual perspective on life. I have a tendency to invent and innovate, so you may see some new ideas here. I'm working on a new technique for knitting that you may be interested in, so subscribe to my RSS feed and you will hear about it. Thanks for coming to visit!
