I have never knitted in public, but (surprise) I was all about nursing my babies in public. Even used to do nurse-ins at national chains like Burger King that had tossed out nursing moms. Fortunately my boobs are microscopic so no one ever noticed.
Does crocheting count? Because I forget how to knit. (I’ll bet knitters are scornful of crocheters because crocheted stuff always looks so gay.)

This is great! This is the kind of tidbit that makes life interesting and puts a smile on my face! Thanks!
As long as they don’t knit or crochet while driving – which technically is not in public!
Mary’s last blog post..Bioflavonoids
@Gretchen: no any handwork is welcome. (What a straight line!) Nancy started crocheting, but hasn’t done it in a long time. There is a pattern for knitted sneaks. (Why do I KNOW these things???)
@Mary: I am here to serve and educate. Somewhere on a highway is a person knitting behind the wheel! Bet on it.
Yikes! Between gas prices and those pesky knitting drivers – I need to find alternate transportation!

Gretchen: Crocheters are now called hookers! And I believe there is a crochet pattern for boobs – I know there is a knitted pattern. I need to get busy and get some Willie-warmers knitted to sell for Christmas gifts.

I wanna know when World Wide Fart in Public Day is. So then my husband can be all, you know…official.
Redneck Diva’s last blog post..Okay, stop me if you’ve heard this one
@Redneck Diva: No shit (hee) He JUST MISSED it.
not.
Oh Coooooool. Start it! Pick a day, make a badge and I’m am sooo there! Fart.com would probably give you strong support.
When’s the last time you farted in public – not on purpose?
Redneck Diva: Our dogs think any day is fart in public day! As Sedona walks behind me to the other side of the room farting…..
