Although I could never really keep up all the acronyms of Microsoft's, ahem, cliques, I'm in full agreement with their re-definition of multitasking as 'Continuous Partial Attention'. It may be that knitting on camera can give you the cosy look of a sage granny, but I think you really need to be a little old lady who is simultaneously smoking a pipe to pull the look off with conviction.
I'd like to try weaving during long Teams meetings, but worry that the shuttle will keep knocking the camera aside with every weft through the warp, and give the game away.
Dear Bex - Your comments are duly noted and have entered the minutes of our last meeting at Knit Your Heart Out magazine in Des Moines IA. As previously stated, I am the Editor in Chief and would be happy to extend a free 6 month subscription to you and yours. In the meantime, I would like to draw your attention to a wonderful ode to the knitting needle available on Spotify called Dueling Needles - The Pure Sound of Thoughts Unspoken (with thanks to Phillip Glass). by the world's leading cable knit master, Eric Barnaby Gottenberg. As Eric once said to me at the Knitters' Guild Convention in Twitsberg PA: "Never let anyone harsh your double drop overtwist"
Dear Bex - As the Editor in Chief of Kinit Your Heart Out magazine, based in Des Moines IA, I feel strongly that you have taken a wrong turn or a double drop as we like to call it. The clicking of the needles that drive you nuts are responsible for most of what you wear in winter to stay warm. People should be free to express themselves in whichever way they see fir in or out of a meeting. In our meetings you can't hear for the clickety-clinking, and its music to our ears. Yes, I am biased, but woe betide anyone who tells us to leave our needles at the door. Sincerely, Doris Sneed. Des Moines, Iowa.
Dear Ms Sneed - I applaud your commitment to your passion and, as you note, the important work of clothing the population in winter. I suspect you'd agree with me that knitting deserves focus - that the finest knitted garments are achieved through determined concentration so that no stitches are dropped, no selvedge skipped. To that end, I maintain that there are places for knitting and other places for everything else. I'm sure you'd agree. Thank you, in any case, for your "purls" of wisdom. Sincerely, Bex
