The warm weight of your project sitting on your lap can be comforting. It can be like a balm to sooth you as you relax into your knitting. Focus on and enjoy the sensation of your project growing heavier and coming closer to completion as it sits on your lap.
Notice where it touches your lap. Pay attention to the gentle pressure. Take note of when the project lifts off your lap as you knit.
Notice how it feels on your lap now. Make note of it (or journal about it). Then pay attention to how that feeling changes as your project grows.
Do you prefer the feeling of a project you have just started and the only way to feel it on your lap is to stop knitting and just lay it there? Or do you prefer the weight of a project with many rows completed that naturally rests on your laps as you knit.
What do you like about the project sitting on your lap? What do you dislike?
How can you maximize your enjoyment based on these observations?
