The shawl was the object of much admiration at my knitting group due to my focus each week - most of us do something simple at group as we probably chat more than knit. However, I'm a lunatic according to all of them and am often doing more complicated lacey work or patterned or beaded socks at group. I've always been able to concentrate & block out extraneous noise, so it's no different. And the joy of knitting is that I can pull it out if I do it wrong, and redo it.
I don't have an Etsy shop as I do my crafting for fun, and I don't think I could deal with the stress of deadline knitting. (I was stressed enough making little stockings for workmates this year - and no one knew I was doing them so they wouldn't have had any idea if I'd failed to make tem).
Meredith got a new knitted dress for the holiday.
