I was reading today in the business section of one of our local papers about a small business that started in the 1990’s, as a provider of guided “extreme biking” vacations. Things struggled along as most of these market specific companies do…or as my husband would say – went for the lifestyle – stayed for the bankruptcy, until they positioned themselves on facebook.<\/p>\n

Well, they do, do amazing “things” – rides through mountains – Peru, Utah, Slovenia, Patagonia and other fantastic places.  OK, I am not into extreme biking, although I am always in awe of Lucy Neatby who biked the Cabot Trail – I drove it.<\/p>\n

Anyway, this blog is not about exercise; it’s about the naming of a company.  I just love their name – “Sacred Rides”.  It has raised their passion – cycling to the level of the divine.<\/p>\n

Could we apply this to knitting?  Could you call a yarn store – Sacred Skeins or Etherial Ewes?  I will stop at Holy Socks (Batman).  How do you condense a passion into a few words which impart that intense feeling to the world.<\/p>\n

Here is their website, in case you’ve had a breech of sanity – Sacred Rides<\/a>.<\/p>\n
