Message to Alice Volkert: When I first joined the church over 26 years ago, I had a similiar problem. While my husband was in a priesthood meeting, I sat quietly in a corner of the chapel peacefully crocheting. Our Branch President's wife saw me and went into hysterics. (She was a little high-strung anyway.) I thought I had commited a terrible sin. Another sister (God rest her soul) gently told me that it was not the proper thing to do in the chapel. I guess they just didn't understand that my needlework brought me a lot of peace and helped to open my heart and mind to the gospel. It relaxed me. Just to be safe, I did my crocheting in the car after that. Karen in OH
