Knit in Public

Where do you knit? I love to have a small knitting project with me wherever I go. You never know when you'll have the chance to squeeze in a few stitches and actually that is my favorite time to knit! I knit at the mall, the library, doctor's office, dentist, school car pickup line, in restaurants, movies, and anywhere I may have to wait more than a minute!

Today I'm knitting at Barnes and Noble Bookstore while my teen searches for a new book to read. Guess who ended up buying a book? Me! A knitting book, of course!
