I get an inordinate number of hits on my blog from people searching for “pins and needles foot” or “pins and needles leg.”  Even though this is meant to be a knitting and sewing focused blog, I feel a bit bad for misleading people into thinking they might find information on this condition here.

So, for that reason (and because I have nothing more interesting to write about), here is the Wikipedia page on pins and needles.  For those of you who arrive here after having suffered from this common malady, I hope you find it helpful!   And for the rest of you… go read it anyway - it’s kind of interesting!
