The Knitting Place

Madge and Ellen have started this little Show & Tell about their favorite knitting spots. So here's mine. Ellen cleaned hers up to a level that Good Housekeeping could photograph, and Madge's isn't far behind. But here's mine, in something truly resembling its natural state.

I have my Ott light, another lamp to help with really close work, my loveseat which I share with Midnight's kitty bed (gift from my dear blogless friend Lunadog), my coffee table which is really quite tidy at the moment, and my wonderful little Chinese chest. I found this in a local 'antique' store and snatched it immediately. Inside the 2 doors are 3 drawers for knitting notions, pens and papers, etc. and an open area perfect for my sets of Denise and KnitPicks needles; the bottom drawer holds my magnetic board for charts, my roll of hand-carved crochet hooks from Bill at Turn of the Century and other flat items.

DH calls me the "Imelda Marcos" of tote bags, and I do have a lot. Nearly every project has its own tote; smaller ones have a plastic zip bag and live with bigger projects. The TV and stereo are across the room, my iPod is at hand - everything I want is nearby. And the little bear on the side table has a tote that says "Knitting is my bag."

So - show off YOUR favorite knitting spot !!
