One of the smaller character defining moments in the Belgeriand is when the boy-hero Garion comes across his "aunt" Polgara sewing one of his old doublets (old english for shirt :). He chides her saying that she's above such things and that he's probably not going to wear that shirt again anyway.

She tells him that knitting relaxes her and then she runs her finger over the rip magically mending it. She then rips the shirt again and starts sewing it again. "And now you see how pointless it actually is." For her knitting helps focus her thoughts and is an aid for setting her long range plans. At that instant it's als an opportunity to teach the hero some etiquette but that's another thing entirely. :)
