SBQ: What do you do while stitching?

The Stitch­ing Blog­gers’ Ques­tion of the week is:

What is your favorite past time while stitch­ing? Do you just enjoy
silence, lis­ten to music/​audiobooks or do you “watch” TV/​movies? Do
you have spe­cific favorites you lis­ten to/​watch while stitching?

I like gam­ing while stitch­ing, but I’m find­ing that it doesn’t work so well in one-​​on-​​one games. When we played with other peo­ple, I got a lot more stitch­ing done, because I could do that while other play­ers were “on stage,” so to speak. I love lis­ten­ing to those inter­ac­tions, but I get fid­gety with­out some­thing to keep my hands busy.

One-​​on-​​one games are too intense, usu­ally, to get any stitch­ing done. I pre­fer to main­tain eye con­tact with Sam, which just doesn’t work while doing counted-​​thread work. If I ever learn to knit or cro­chet, I’m told it’s much eas­ier to do those while look­ing elsewhere.

I used to stitch while “watch­ing TV,” too, but haven’t done it in some time. We don’t have cable, since we’re not big TV peo­ple, but maybe I’ll pop in a DVD of some­thing I’ve seen before.

I’d really pre­fer hav­ing a gam­ing group again, though. Hope, Waya, and J-​​Chan, when are y’all com­ing for a stitch-​​n-​​game weekend?

    Glad to find you, always look­ing for other stitch­ers. I usu­ally am watch­ing TV or lis­ten­ing to music when i stitch. I don’t have NEARLY enough time to do it, but who does, lol!

    I often knit dur­ing gam­ing, gen­er­ally some­thing sim­ple enough I don’t have to look at it much.

    I like the stitch and game week­end. Heck, I was think­ing about vis­it­ing you folks regard­less. Would some week­end in April work for you guys?
