I will be making "dear jane" while waiting for my son in his speech, occupational, and physical therapy for his sensoray disorder. He gets 3 hrs of therapy a week at once so alot can get done! I started it today piecing it today at his session and I got a few weird looks but... I soo do not care cause while they are on their phones and looking at books and magazines at I will have something to show for my time lol.
Glad you found something to do while waiting in waiting rooms. My mother taught me that "Idle hands are the devil's workshop" so I always had handwork to do, usually knitting. I made a lot of sweaters during the kids' teenage years. Then when my husband was visiting many doctors and having treatments I crocheted a tablecloth. It started lots of conversations. One time a man was sitting across from me and had to come over and get a close look at the motifs. His mother crocheted, and he started a flood memories. He then thanked me for allowing him to reminisce.
