City Council Meetings, Congressional gallery, candidate speaker nights. On a ship, in an airplane (and for sure in airports), at a baseball game. At every board meeting I've ever attended, except those I had to chair or be secretary at. Family holidays (those kind with a couple dozen extended family members, some of whom drink a bit too much). Knitting is a soother, a buffer, an invitation, and a comfort. I have small zippered project bags, clever little pouches with yarn holes, larger Namaste bags, and a magnificent knitting tote that was a git from a friend many years ago, into which I can stuff three or four projects and a toolkit.

I was there with my father who had a collapsed lung because of cancer. He was not one to accept help so he was very glad I had something to occupy myself while we waited - it made us both feel better. I also knitted in the green room at the EMPAC Center at Rensselaer. I was waiting to go on stage to do a performance and it calmed my nerves. The first place I thought of was the emergency room. I was there with my father who had a collapsed lung because of cancer.

It's mostly guys and it freaks them out a bit. They are so busy trying not to stare that they don't pay as good attention to their game. They rarely ever ask me about it, just surreptitiously stare. Also, it keeps anyone from seeing my hands shake! I love knitting at the tables when I’m in a Poker tournament. It’s mostly guys and it freaks them out a bit.
