There goes CC, tryin' to make the ministry just a bit more badass.

Beauty tips for ministers has a thread where ministers are talking about all the funky things people do in church (drink coffee, clip their nails, etc.)

A few people have talked about people who knit in church, how the sound of the needles can be a bit distracting.

Does that mean that it would be ok to crochet in church or meetings, because a crochet hook doesn't click like knitting needles?

I would like to think that our Puritan ancestors might conclude that this displays a laudible industry. Waste not. Idle hands are the devil's tools.

If a minister's to the point where the "tick" of needles is considered rude and shocking behavior, perhaps they need to get a grip. Heavens, a mother might also do something like nurse a child. Or someone might whip out a notepad and scribble notes for... something, later. Perhaps a sermon, or an article. Or a book.
