Cozy Corner

Ellen's sofa has inspired me. A few days ago she posted about her favorite place to knit/crochet, and I enjoyed reading her post so much that I thought I'd post about my favorite spot, too.

Most of my knitting/crocheting occurs here, in a corner of our well-worn sofa in our living room. As you can see, project bags surround the spot!

Where do you sit when you knit or crochet?

My knitting pretty much all happens in or on my bed. We have a small one bedrooom house and I hate having my uni work around me in the bedroom (i can never relax if i can see all the work I have to do) so our lounge is more of a study/computer room and the TV is in the bedroom, so I sit in.on bed and knit whilst watching TV or DVDs. Hopefully when we move we will have a spare room to use as a study and we can have a lounge again!

What a good idea! I'll have to take a picture of my spot.

We don't have a couch but I do have a ginormous purple chair and a half that I adore. There's a bookshelf right by it where I can pile my various project bags :)

I'm flattered that you've taken my prompt and posted your creation place!

P.S. Wow! Edna Hart! Her shop is great! Now she's your BFF? Wow.

I usually knit at one end of our sofa, too.

I put up a picture of my new chair, complete with large cat. I think it's going to be my new Knitting Knook. (Arrrgh!)
Hey, congrats on the award from Morrighana!!

I always sit on the end seat of my sofa too, next to the wall, close to the bookshelf with my coffee cup and lamp! Ahh Paradise!!!! Your knitting corner looks lovely and cosy, hopefully when Fiend and Maggie get along better they'll be sitting close by too!

I have a great chair and ottoman that I do most of my knitting on. It's within reach of my bookcase with all of my knitting books.

OOOPS! My bad. I did a "me too" post, but forgot to leave one here. Dahlink, your knitting spot is nearly too tidy to be for real, though it's as tidy as the rest of your house. Such discipline, to put all the bits away so neatly!

LOVE the couch/Sofa! We have a deep purple couch that is the primary knit spot. The Stash is right infront of us in the Ikea Billy bookcases telling us to knit faster, faster, faster. I just found you from Ravelry, we live in Anaheim but shop all over So Ca for yarn and music and ?????

Cool couch!

If I am home, I usually sit in our IKEA Poang chair and prop my feet up on a semi-matching footstool (we got both gently used) -- that is, if a cat or two haven't stolen the chair already...

Great! If there's ever been a perfect knitting spot, then it's this one!
