I've been feeling a tad overwhelmed with everything going on lately, between school and work and all the rest of life. This week I just can't wait to make it through today so that I can have a restful and productive Friday on my own schedule (a chance to go to the gym for the first time this week, and to get back to work on a paper I've been neglecting, and I might even get to do some spinning!).
The way I dealt with my higher-than-usual stress level yesterday was to pull out my Primavera socks in the middle of class and start knitting away. I never, ever knit during class, because I'm afraid the professor will be offended or the other students will find me distracting. I can concentrate while I knit, but I don't want to disturb others. But I couldn't stand it anymore!
The professor looked right at me, smiled a little, and just kept lecturing. Clearly he has a kind heart.

I generally don't knit in class either, I'm always afraid the professor might say something. I did hear a story last night about a student who just came out and asked the professor if she could knit in class and he said as long as she made him a hat at the end of the semester!
That sounds like a pretty fair trade to me!
