I knit through board meetings now, because it's the only thing that keeps me from alternately digging my teeth into certain throats or bursting into great gulping sobs like a heartbroken three year old. At first, I tried to be polite, but now -- forget it. It takes just enough concentration that I can be there through all the annoyance.

I even have different projects for different anxiety levels! They're in ZipLoc bags, ready to go. Sometimes I have two or three projects in my school bag, in case my anxiety level varies...
>MEEE TOOOOO!
I have a scarf- knitted only, and also a tea cozy, which is in a waffle k2p2. Now it's time for decreases, so it's only for "high cognitive" days.I would like to make another pair of handwarmers, like fingerless long gloves. My one pair is so cozy, and much more practical than I anticipated.
and if it comes out too goofy, I can always felt something out of it?
