Finding Time to Knit or Crochet

Another pair of fingerless mittens completed, to be shipped out on Friday.

I don’t usually knit or crochet too much when I’m at home unless I’m finishing up a project . Typically, I have a project or two stashed in my purse and I’m ready to knit whenever I’m stuck waiting.  For my kids.  On a line.  In the car.  At a school.  In a meeting.  These were completed at my town’s deliberative session while folks argued over the school budget that will appear on ballots in March.  I’m glad they’re done.  

I’ve already started another project – a scarf – at a meeting today and worked on it while I was at the town’s budget meeting.  It’s 3/4 of the way done… I’d like to finish it tonight – but I left the meeting early.

One thing that I’ve learned: if I’m listening to something while knitting - a podcast, a lecture, or at a meeting – keeping my hands busy helps me to concentrate better on what I’m hearing.  I definitely absorb more of the information & focus a lot better.  I wish I had known this in high school and college…

Do you have projects that you work on while you’re “on-the-go” ?
