JASON LEWIS TAKES UP KNITTING

Former SEX AND THE CITY hunk JASON LEWIS is busying himself with a new creative pastime - knitting.

The 33-year-old actor, boyfriend of screen beauty ROSARIO DAWSON, admits that whenever he's not enjoying more active pursuits in his spare time, he'll happily pick up needles and a ball of thread.

He says, "I surf, snowboard, mountain bike, and I started knitting. I knitted a hat for WOODY HARRELSON, who directed me in a play, but it was a little too small."
