I recently got asked to be on the board for a historic preservation committee (hmm... maybe it's because I'm turning 50 this year and am in need of a little Preservation myself....) Meetings practically give me hives--I can't stand them, so it's really hard to say yes, even though it's a good cause.
It brought to mind the idea that I could attend a meeting and KNIT (especially a Knit In Your Sleep project) and it wouldn't be so bad.
Google brings up a lot of blog opinions about whether it's okay to knit in a meeting. The best conversation I've seen is one dated 2005 by Wendy Knits.
The consensus seems to be:
In Church: No, unless it's very informal and it would be okay with your pastor
Other Church Functions: Sure, why not.
Work Meetings: No, unless you've cleared it with your boss
Homeowner Association Meetings: Yes
Volunteer Meetings: Yes
Classes: Depends on the class and the professor
The rule of thumb is: If it distracts YOU or OTHERS or would appear impolite, keep it in your bag.
