like you I can\u2019t just sit still while in a long meeting, or
Bible study, or doctor\u2019s office waiting room. I have brought
all kinds of things. From starting an afghan while it is
still easy to carry, baby blankets, hats, scarves, baby
dress, granny squares, booties, most anything I make, smile.
I usually get questions, if they aren\u2019t on their phones. .<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The other
night I attended a meeting I knew would go on for hours. I
have a hard time sitting in a meeting without something to
do with my hands. I call it constructive fidgeting. But I
wanted something simple, so I wouldn\u2019t be distracted from
the meeting, and my current project isn\u2019t at a simple
phase. So I cast on the start of a hat for charity before I
went to the meeting. Simple, easy to carry, and good to
give away when I\u2019m done. I got quite a bit done during the
meeting, too. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

people have projects like that to take to meetings? What do
you take?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
