My question is, exactly how public does this need to be? Does knitting in front of my computer count if I have Twitter open?
Probably not.
Google?
No.
How about if I knit while on the phone with one of my sons and he is out in public?
Still no.
What if he is in Central Park?
Uh-uh.
Times Square?
No way, José.
Well, okay then, this is my final offer: I'll go knit on my deck and whenever I see a boat on the lake I'll wave my knitting in the air.
Note: it is not that I am afraid to be seen knitting in public. Heaven knows I do it all the time. I'm just opposed to getting in the car and driving somewhere just to do it.
So if you read about a crazed woman arrested in Wisconsin for waving a half-knit sock in the air in a manner deemd to be threatening to boaters? That would be me. Please send bail.
