I brought along an applique project that just happens to be on my 2011 UFO list.
I was sitting in front and the lecturers saw what I was doing. They didn't say anything and neither did I. Should I have asked permission? Should I have let them know why I do it? I've seen lots of women knitting in other seminars in the past. Does that make it right?
Was I wrong? How can finishing something so cute be a bad thing. BTW, I finished FOUR of these.

and in making every one about one as easy as one can.

I often wonder that too - we have training and I think I couold be hand sewing while this is going on - but then we need ton take notes so it wouldn't work. I think if they didn't say anything then they have given tacit approval. Four that was a productive seminar!
ReplyDeleteI have done the same thing. Worked on a crochet baby blanket while listening to the lectures at a seminar. Did get some stares but was in middle of group, kept it fairly low on my lap and since I knew the pattern didn't have to read anything to do it. I also seem to be able to focus better if doing something with my hands. Much less annoying than hearing someone tapping a pen all the time!
