Reading this great fantastic wonderful book at the moment
Sacred Games by Vikram Chandra

there is knitting
wow
and a guy gets a recommendation from his doctor in Moscow to take it up for his stress and anxiety
"The white yarn stretches against his skin, then relaxes. The needles sound against each other. the warp and weft form, and flow. His mind, his heart fills with the radiant glow of Allah's mercy. The fabric grows, and he is at piece."

I was in the local book store yesterday and came across: The Friday Night Knitting Club and thought of you. :)
