I have a couple of “mindless” craft projects to do when I’m stuck in a seminar or something else in a large auditorium, and washcloths are at the top of my list. Having something to keep myself busy keeps me from wondering, “Is it over, yet?” but because they’re simple projects, I can work on them while paying attention to the presentation. This past weekend, I was at a convention, and on Friday, I knocked out 2 dishcloths (simply made with a linen stitch) that were both claimed by my table mates. If I had brought more yarn, I could have made at least a half a dozen!
