Why did Raymond bring a knitting bag to every meeting?

I stopped knitting a few years ago, but back when I knitted regularly, I tended to bring my knitting bag with me everywhere I went. There are a lot of idle minutes in your typical day. Waiting for the bus, waiting in line for the ATM, waiting for a meeting to start. There’s not enough time in those idle minutes to do anything substantial, but it’s enough time to sneak in a little bit of knitting. But there’s another reason I brought a knitting bag to every meeting.

Nothing says “I don’t care about this meeting” like knitting.

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
