Improvisation

Have you ever been to a conference where they have a box of paper and pens on the conference table? I've been to plenty of conferences and always knit during them.

(And why the non-knitters who are openly reading newspapers or can't be bothered to look up from their smart phones because they're playing games, checking email, reading blogs, and obviously ignoring the speaker never get the strange looks I get as one who is knitting in order to focus my attention on the speaker is a whole other blog post.)

I never thought of temporarily converting the box to a knitting accoutrement.

But I will now.
