Sometimes I know while also watching movies or tv shows with my boyfriend.
Do you remember what you watch while knitting?
Yes, I watched Clash of the Titans on Netflix while knitting.
It's perfectly reasonable to multitask and stay constructive while watching tv. As long as you're spending time with your boyfriend, there's still the connection you need as a couple.
I just assumed by watching tv shows and movies while knitting I could be productive. I'm glad I'm not the only bored knitter that watches tv while doing so.
I think it's great you can spend time with your boyfriend, enjoy some tv or or a movie, and get work done on your knitting. Not only are you being productive but you're also spending quality time with your boyfriend.
