520    "Learn how the meditative practice of knitting can evolve 
       in to a spiritual discipline. One third (53 million) of 
       American women know how to knit, and knitting is becoming 
       increasingly popular with men as well. Many of these 
       knitters belong to social knitting circles, charity 
       knitting groups, or knit with others in churches, cafes-
       and even in bars! This book shows how knitting creates 
       connections and communities, and ties the repetition of 
       knitting to the consistent recitation of prayer. It also 
       compares the act of knitting to the spiritual journey, 
       from starting something new to how we handle mistakes. 
       Many people would like to incorporate a spiritual practice
       into their frenetic lives only to become discouraged and 
       give up when they try. Those who knit are able to 
       experience its calming effects and dedicate time to their 
       craft each day"--|cProvided by publisher.
