    Default On The Go Crafts

    Hello fellow crafters out there. I would like to know if anyone has any crafts they can do on the go. In the car, at kids sporting events, Dr. appts etc. I crochet a lot and usually bring a crochet project with me to do while waiting at these types of things but been getting a little bored with that lately. I would love to do other crafts but don't know of any (other than yarn crafts and needle work) that can be easily transported and picked up and put down at a moments notice. Any ideas?

    oooh sketching, don't know why I never thought of that one. I used to draw all the time, then I had kids and just never really picked it up again, thanks for the reminder.

    These are great suggestions, finger knitting is one that's good for distraction and making plant ties!

    And it would work on aircraft where knitting needles and crochet hooks are regarded as dangerous weapons.

    Oh, I nearly had to throw away a pair of scissors with sentimental value in the early days of super-alertness to hijack risks. A very grumpy looking security man told me to buy a padded bag and mail them back to myself, for which I am very grateful. (incidentally, you can still buy magazines with knitting kits on them inside the security barrier at airports! Those needles are not dangerous, it seems)
