Awkward flappy things at the end of my arms

Today I had to go to Bible study without my knitting. I forgot to cast on a new project last night, and I didn't get home from work in time today to do it. Even though I've been socializing with this group of people once a week for the past several months, sitting there without something in my hands was uncomfortable. Sometimes I feel like I'm getting less comfortable with people in my old age, even my friends. At least, needlework is an acceptable coping technique. It could be worse -- I could be sucking down the chardonnay before meeting the Christian folk :-).
