Today I read people magazine in the lobby at the dentist office while knitting. I didn't drop a stitch or ruin my tension and I was able to turn pages without losing a having to set anything down. Hot dog! This is great. now I need to make one of those heavy snakes to hold books open.
I have been slowly reading "No Idle Hands: The Social History of American Knitting" by Anne Macdonald. It talks about how knitting is not really a visual project to work on. Women knit in the dark all the time, or while reading. I'm on my way. While on the bus I have been looking out the window while knitting and trying to see how long I can go without looking at my hands. This is pretty exciting for me.
