For the pro-knitters, would you be fine if every single person in the meeting was knitting (besides the person sharing)?
I had a casual conversation once with a lady who was knitting. She had it down, so she could look at me and pay attention to what I was saying. It was super distracting, as well as awkward, watching her hands going 100mph while she'd stare at me. She would stop when she was talking and when I was answering her question, zip, swish, zing... annoying! But maybe that's just me.
