Knitting while distracted
So I was on a very long call at work, had my headphones on (yay for headphones vs holding the phone up with my shoulder and getting a cruck in my neck!) and I pulled out Vera to knit a row or two while on the call. So there is a lot of talking going on in the call and it starts to concern me so I start to pay close attention and at the same time I am knitting nearly at the end of the row (ohh i get anxious near an end..) and then i hear my name from behind.
A lady at work wants to show me how the tree outside looks like its about to get tossed across the lawn becaues of a very loud thunderstorem that just popped up.
So i have the noice of the storm, the muffled words of the lady showing me the swaying tree, and then the call which is about to be something i may need to respond to. I forgot the phone at that moment was not on mute and as I try to turn around to look at the lady/storm my second needle falls out of my hand. 2 stiches are now free! The other needle is pulled down or jerked I can't remember and some of those stiches become free and a mutter "shit". Opps phone isn't on mute! I am sure someone heard me but no one say anything, so i hit mute. Try to untangle from the headphones cord which is caught on my chair and scurry to salvage my stiches. Shew.
I put Vera away promptly.
