Since we older lacers using paper books and such are geared to that, it is not surprising the younger generation has no interest. I found if i can trust my Xyboard not to fall, i have my pattern and pricking on it. Younger people wonder how you can use a tablet with a pillow so wander over and check it out. Even using a cell phone on some holder can make people look. if you have a really "loud" looking color cover, that draws the eye too.
I wear a very simplistic "pioneer" outfit including the bed cap and wire rimmed reading glasses perched on the end of my nose. if nothing else, you get a smile but it is something that "draws" people to you. my "table" is a camera tripod with a plexiglas top where i put jar opener/shelf liner on so the pillow will stay put when i tilt it and i elevate the pillow to work on while standing. i have one small one and one larger one which i only use for demos. i can use a medium sized pillow and have room on the plexiglas to hold a light/magnifier/tablet. this can get uncomfortable so i have my piano stool at hand to sit. if you have one of those folding stools that are higher, that is a bit easier but also a bit harder on the back than regular height but not as bad as standing. anything "unique" and eye catching will bring people close to "see".
