Knitting at Disney World...yay or nay?
My five year old, never fail me, Dell PC has died. May we all have a moment of silence?
It has been crazy busy at work this week...for a variety of reasons, which in inevitable in a large ministry. It's like "back to school" when I was teaching. The first few weeks fly by, and there seems to be no breather from it all. One of the things we have been preparing for is a big worship seminar that starts today. It's a pretty big deal, and some of the known leaders in the Christian music worship arena will be there, teaching, and singing. Being part of the choir, I have an opportunity to be part of a 25 member back-up choir for a concert tomorrow with Don Moen, and for Israel and New Breed.
I am so out of any music loop. My question was...."yeah, I'll sing, but who is Israel and who is Don Moen?" They seriously laughed at me. I guess this is a big deal, but anyway, I'll be singing tomorrow for the concert...whoever they are.
JR comes home tonight! Can you see how excited I am?
And, the cat's out of the bag...we are going to Disney World for Christmas week. Katie and Ray and JR and I will be there. I LOVE Disney World! Of course, I am already planning my knitting, and when I mentioned that to Kate, an interesting discussion ensued.
I'd like you, even though you are knitters, to express your thoughts on this.
Is is okay for me to take my knitting with me to Disney World? Can I carry a wee little project bag with say, a sock or something in it...so that when I am waiting in line or riding the bus or the monorail, I can knit a few rows?
My daughter says it would be rude. That I can't possibly give people and conversation my complete attention, if I'm knitting. Active listening, she says, involves frequent eye contact, verbal affirmations, nodding, paraphrasing and warm open body posture. Like I can't do that while I'm knitting a sock?????
I wonder if knitting is allowed in Don Moen's choir?
