Whichever way we all do our various crafts, so long as we are all contented and therefore peaceful it doesn't really matter... this thread will be interesting to see how many do tons all at once and how many do one thing at a time.
I find I have some knitting with me wherever I am, even cooking, If I'm in the kitchen waiting for pans to come to the boil, I take my socks in to get on with whilst I wait, I can't bear to just wait doing nothing, and if I get bored after our lunch, I pick up either crochet or embroidery, or spin..
