Day 20: Do you knit in public? Was anyone offended/incredibly happy/curious that you were doing so? I knit everywhere.
Especially if I know that a wait is possible. So hospital visits… doctors appointments… standing in line at the DMV…
Most people are pretty cool about it, but some people get offended if you knit during church functions or at memorial services. But knitting is not just a hobby for me. It helps me focus and calms my nerves. I guarantee you that I am paying more attention while knitting (and can retain more), than if I were sitting still with nothing for my hands to do. I tend to space out or fidget uncontrollably if I’m not doing something.
I also knit in public – sometimes grabbing 5 minutes whilst I’m waiting for an appointment, is the only knitting I get done all day!
I do, although only when I know I have some time and can pay attention. I wish I could just grab my needles and make short waits productive 😉
