Overly optimistic

This weekend my oldest brother (who turns 80 next month) married for the third(!) time. I thought I would have some down time and be able to finish the simple cowl *and* the socks, but no knitting occurred as there was no down time. A very busy weekend!

Knitting: I finished one cuff on the ice dyed socks (except for the bind off) at my granddaughter's academic bowl competition, but when I picked up the other sock, I discovered I had dropped a stitch several rows back; not the right venue for fixing that at the time, but it is fixed now; maybe I'll finish them this week?
Weaving: All seven panels of the buffalo check blanket are off the loom; time to figure out how to sew them together.

After six panels

Believe it or not, I received a summons for jury duty. Would they let me knit during a trial? It might look like I'm not paying attention when actually the opposite is true - knitting helps me concentrate on what is going on around me - but it may become grounds for an appeal. Legal opinion from any of you?
