Some of them are members of the Prayer Shawl ministry, but certainly not all. The choir is particularly known for having knitters among its members (especially altos, for whatever reason!). During coffee hour, after the service, people often ask me about whatever I'm working on; no one seems to mind at all.Linnetknitsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732106413415822842.post-57197912518760256972011-08-07T18:14:00.538-04:002011-08-07T18:14:00.538-04:00I will probably never do it, but I often think of ...I will probably never do it, but I often think of knitting as a time to reflect and meditate (especially if the pattern is repetitive and easy). It is a bit like saying the Rosary, but of course, not really. I just loved your post because I ALWAYS knit in public =)f1bercathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063888664513967595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732106413415822842.post-2388347024043042002011-08-05T09:06:21.118-04:002011-08-05T09:06:21.118-04:00First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt weighed in on this du...First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt weighed in on this during WWII (when knitting was advertised as a patiotic duty), and indicated that she thought it would be a direspectful distraction to those around you to knit "in a house of God". I would proceed with caution, as distracting those relating to their God is inappropriate. If there is a "Cry Room" for upset babies or active children, that might be the place. Let us know what happens!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954737963252568247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732106413415822842.post-44509591046394364122011-08-04T18:10:09.083-04:002011-08-04T18:10:09.083-04:00I want to knit at mass!

I have been dying to bring it to mass, but have not. I can't decide if it will enable me to meditate on the prayers, etc., or interfere. So, I am erring on the side of caution.f1bercathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063888664513967595noreply@blogger.com
