Honestly I'm usually knitting fairly simple things so can listen to music, watch TV, chat to partner or even be in a group conversation or whatever without too much trouble. Just about the only thing I can't do is read, but that's only having two hands for you!

It does cause occasional mistakes, but I'm ok with ripping out where necessary and just living with small mistakes where not, so that's fine.

On those few occasions I attempt complicated lace, though, oof. Any sort of distraction at all is a day-ruiner!
