I'm sure it will. After all God is a Knitter, He knit us in our
mother's wombs.

This is true, and one of the quotes I use to "prove" that God is a

Many years ago , i studied in the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. In
Modern History class with Proffesor Talmon [" What Lead to WW2,
Totalitarian States"] . The lecture was very popular , and one had to
Catch a place ,,, Of course at those times some female students
knitted. Proffsessor Talmon . short Napoleonic Figure [ and yes He
would walk with one hand in his shirt at times !!!] Extremely
Charismatic, Raised one day his voice and pointed at a Blond student
who was knitting ,,,, and spoke about the women who knitted by the
Guiliotine in France during the Revolution !!! Than he said asked her
to Raise her knitting , and show it to all !!! one day same woman
lost her necklace ,, many beads rolled all over the lecture hall ,,,
everybody laughed and many ducked to collect her beads ,,,,';I hope
you knitting is better made than this necklace`s thread !!!!was the
comment of the proffesor ..

I would think that as a believer one would believe then that God gave you
this talent, and therefore you are bringing your craft to his house to
share
with him. I guess so long as it isn't a long complicated pattern that
needs
your undivided attention, and you don't stand up in the middle of a
sermon
and shout out....For goodness sake shut up a minute....or similar,
nothing
would be made of of...

Mirjam I always thought Bus Stops, Train Stations, and waiting rooms,
train
journeys and picture theatres ( to mention only a few of lots of
places)
were really built for us to enjoy knitting etc while in the area !!!!
How
boring to just *sit* there!!! God Bless Gwen

I Rememberin former times , that in kieboets meetings almost all the
women knitted [ and the odd man as well] , This was the only way to
get sweaters as times were hard . You got cupons for the amount of
wool and if you hadn`t a mate you were asked to knit for one of the
single man as well. Of course all kids had knited sweaters which were
handed down as soon as one outgrew them. And you saw woman knitting
in
buses , in the waiting rooms etc... it is coming back now [ of course
many of us never stopped , only moderated the places we did it !!!] .
Strangely enough when we were in the USA 20 ++ years ago i sat and
knitted several times i was told by Usa women that it was Primitive
behaviour [ i am sure many of those are now Primitivized themselves
and knit as well !!!] , I know some women who are around my age who
still think so ,, that it sort of " isn`t Done"[ i am not speaking
about Church ,and such places but waiting rooms etc]. There was a
time that even the feminist movement saw it as a form of enslaving
one`s time ,, now that we can relax some of our Feminist idea [ not
that we have all the rights] , we can expect other to understand that
this is a FREE CHOICE of us to use those minutes or hours , with
doing
something we DO ENJOY , as well as it is making some essential to our
way of life ,,,

Hi Kira,
Our church was like that, and our littleones do what they want afterwards
with sunday school tutors with them, most of them sit at the back colouring
or drawing. Our old Vicar, used to say, when a baby in the congregation
cried.. "Now don't try to quiet the baby, God likes to hear them singing
too!" I was a child then, and thought, I bet if I made a noise I'd get
frowned at!

Multitasking.
I can't knit or crochet unless I'm listening to a radio or tv. Must be the
way we first started learning I suppose, or perhaps it is because I had six
children, and there was always lots of distractions that I learnt to go with
it all..

Cheers.....cher x

What we do is to have the kids (over about 2) come in the chapel for the

they
are excused for special activities and we proceed with sermon etc. There
is
usually a nursery for the really little ones. We are a small church and
that
works for us. We want the kids to feel like they are a part of the
church
family - but all of us are happier if they don't have to sit through all
of it
before they are ready to participate.

That is what we do, too. After the children's story we adults sing
them out of the sanctuary and to their classes, maybe three separate
age-appropriate groups.
We did have a knitter... making Harry Potter scarves (burgundy and
gold for .... oh oh, now I can't remember Harry Potter's house). No
one cared. My church is Unitarian-Universalist, so Harry Potter
would be quite well accepted.
However, I found that when I tried to knit at a recent gathering of
one of my women's groups, I kept goofing up and having to rip it out.
I just can't "multi-task", I guess. ha ha

Hi Mirjam,

When were you in Boston? I'm sorry people were so rude to you--that would
certainly not be the case today. One of the things that inspired me to pick
up knitting was when a woman in a coffee shop asked if I knew how to knit
because she needed help with something. I sadly had to say that I didn't
but the woman standing next to me piped in and helped her out. After that I
was determined to learn so I would not be caught at a loss again! And just
last week I looked up all the knitting shops in the area trying to track
down some yarn and discovered there are 13 shops within a half-hour drive of
me. So I would say that your knitting/weaving/whatever would be more than
welcome here today!

I don't know where you were in the US. I lived there for over 50
years, until 6 years ago, and anywhere I was knitting was always
accepted behavior. When I was at university, some of my fellow
students used to knit during lectures.

Laura,
Are you in the Boston area? I don't remember. If so, could you make a
list of the 13 shops nearby, and either list them here to send them to me
privately. My DD#1 lives in W. Roxbury, so either I could send her to
various stores, or whenever I might visit her, we could have an outing.

Now that's interesting. I attend an unprogrammed Quaker meeting, i.e. there
is no service - we worship in silence unless someone present is "moved" to
minister. Although a few of them would probably feel that you couldn't
really knit *and* be focussed on the worship, I think most of the people
would accept it there, too.

Els, the person I *saw* doing it was my own mother! Yes, as a kid, when I
was Catholic (I'm not now, btw), my mom was really into making the
crocheted edges on the priest's cossacks... this particular priest was a
family friend, and he admired the lace edgings on most European priests
cossacks (which were *probably* bobbinlace or tatted), so my mom took it
upon herself to crochet lace edgings for him! (Nowadays methinks *she*
thought she could buy her way into heaven, grin!)
Anyway, she DID finish one in Church!
LOL,

Good for her, what a great way to get through the pearly gates.....I am
sure there will be a good spot for her and that she can bring her crochet
hook and yarns with her.....(laughing)
