Hi Corie - No you aren't alone in using fiber and projects to make yourself more
comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. I like to knit when I'm nervous. It
calms me - as does spinning. I had to fly home as soon airplane restrictions were
listed. Boy, what a long flight - plane searches, etc. What I decided is that if I
couldn't knit, I would think about knitting. Had about 5 knitting magazines and sat
and planned projects. Unfortunately (for my seating companions) after about an
additional hour on the ground for ID rechecks I started to talk ( I talk when I'm
nervous too - Ha Ha). Luckily, there were a couple of women there who were quite
willing to chat away. Only one guy looked disgusted. Next time I thought I would
bring actual short yarn samples and work with those - and maybe some of my spinning
samples. Maybe I could keep my hands occupied that way.
I know this doesn't help with the cutting idea, but I just think for myself I have to
come up with an alternative idea to keep my hands and mind busy on a plane. Boy, I
would even wear shorts and twist the yarn on my thigh if it would keep my hands
busy! (And I'm no spring chicken!) Anyone else have any ideas on this keeping your
hands busy thing?
