I actually look forward to doing errands! And long car rides are the greatest for me! I mostly like the response, "When DON'T I knit?"! <BR/><BR/>It always amazes me that after 23 years of non-stop knitting, I still can't get enough of it! I wish I felt like that about laundry or cooking dinner! <BR/><BR/>I also make jewelry and have the same obsession! I am going to use this question over at my blog. Thanks for the fun!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-29018196785033103792008-05-19T10:48:00.000-05:002008-05-19T10:48:00.000-05:00I loved this post!

I have a two year old so knitting paraphenalia must be kept out of reach... she calls dpn's "candles" and balls of yarn are "birthday cakes", which means the needles go IN the "cakes". <BR/><BR/>I knit in the living room while watching my little ones, in the bathroom while big little one takes her bath, in my bedroom before I go to sleep, outside on my deck, at work when it's slow (hasn't happened much lately) and at family gatherings when we're all sitting around visiting. My favorite place is either the corner of the couch or outside when the weather is nice. My inlaws have a screened in porch that overlooks a river, which is a fabulous knitting spot, even on chilly fall or spring days.

He hasn't complained about it though. He's sits in my spot at the dining room table when he's tying flies for fishing. I use a table top Ott-Lite.

Usually my knitting goes where I go - car, friends house, work...I even knit in the bathroom when my son is in the tub! I have a hard time not doing something and find it a waste of time just sitting there. Recently I took my knitting to school and knitted during a staff meeting! I usually choose mindless knitting projects for times like that (baby hats are great).Carynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14349476666204484991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-20498994542287742942008-05-15T19:13:00.000-05:002008-05-15T19:13:00.000-05:00Better question for me is, " Where doesn't she kni...Better question for me is, " Where doesn't she knit." Answer would be "the bathroom and church (I'm in the choir, front row)." Anyplace else is fine with me. I really can't NOT knit while riding in the car. It would be such a waste of time. And I can't NOT knit watching TV or at the movies....again, a waste of time. I do love to knit with friends, especially at the LSS's that have coffee shops. (I don't drink coffee, but hey! I knit!)<BR/>SaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-90528821075767199792008-05-15T19:07:00.000-05:002008-05-15T19:07:00.000-05:00I have an oversized stuffed chair with an ottoman ...I have an oversized stuffed chair with an ottoman and that's where I knit. I, too, stuff my scissors into the crevice of the cushion! Sometimes I stuff my notion bag in there as well if my toddler is around or inevitably, she wants it. I can look out our big bag window, I have a good view of the TV if I'm watching that or a movie. I knit on airplanes (although once someone got up to go to the bathroom and somehow wrapped their leg around my yarn and pulled a ball of yarn with them down the plane aisle!), in the car during long drives with my family and in my knitting friend's homes. Most of all, I love my comfy chair which also happens to be the chair where I most often nursed my baby.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102365962584491654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-35384655809231143602008-05-15T18:03:00.000-05:002008-05-15T18:03:00.000-05:00I love your studio!

My most favorite place in my home to knit is the big squishy blue chair that sits in our family room. It gives me a bird's eyeview of the kitchen, the sunroom and the tv. And, it keeps me in the middle of my family's activities. My foot rest is never for my feet either. If it is not holding knitting patterns, books, and all sorts of knitting paraphernalia, then it is the resting place of my sweetie, Sylvie.<BR/><BR/>Your blog is really inspiring. Thanks for sharing your life with the rest of us.<BR/><BR/>Blessings, SandyKnittin Kudzuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17309559275761891847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-17222962955769775342008-05-15T16:41:00.000-05:002008-05-15T16:41:00.000-05:00I knit just about anywhere I can - while my little...I knit just about anywhere I can - while my little one is splashing in the tub, in front of guilty TV, in the car, at the doctor's office, watching t-ball or swimming - I'm not picky:) I got some Hello Yarn too - yay for cathing the update!!peaknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16031908574979989240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-21352869168137831832008-05-15T16:18:00.000-05:002008-05-15T16:18:00.000-05:00I have a comfy chair with ottoman in the living ro...I have a comfy chair with ottoman in the living room, in the corner, and the table next to it has a little sliding bookends thingmajobber that holds all my most-used knitting reference books. There's usually a small pile of yarn/needles near my spot on the loveseat in the TV nook. And my spinning wheel looks out our big living room wall o' windows where I can watch birdies, bunnies, chipmunks, and Nuts the Red Squirrel cavort. Like ErikaC, I love to knit outside in the big double-seat swing under our monster willow tree.<BR/>P.S.

It has the additional advantage of being wonderfully, beautifully read in full on the audiobook version, which we listen to in the car. Originally, we borrowed it from the library, but when we saw it at a big bookstore while on a roadtrip, we bought it for ourselves. That, Ramona's World (Beverly Cleary), and now some Harry Potter, but not if we're trying to get anyone to sleep, are our roadtrip staples. Sandra Boynton's Dog Train gets a lot of play, too, but no novels from her, yet, audio or otherwise. I really want to audio-only record my children reading aloud at this stage. We had a few tapes of us reading to them from the early car trip days that are so very evocative of that stage of reading, and I want to have that for now, too. Sounds like you have a reader who would be fun to return to in 5-10 years, too.<BR/><BR/>Blogger issues, so I'll sign in independently, but don't need to be anonymous crickethunteratdejazzd dotcomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-11734320926324677312008-05-15T10:43:00.000-05:002008-05-15T10:43:00.000-05:00I am a real estate agent and I knit while holding ...I am a real estate agent and I knit while holding open houses.
