Yarnhog is having a contest. Tell her, or even better, show her your favorite knitting spot(s) and you might win some Regia sock yarn.
My own knitting spots vary with the season. The first one is summer only.
This is my favorite spot to knit, although I don't get to sit there as much as I'd like. (As much as I'd like = 24/7; unrealistic, I know.) You may recognize this photo; I took it the evening in June when I discovered the turtles. It is 40˚ and windy today, too cold to go onto the front deck if I don't have to.
The glider overlooks the lake and [what we laughingly refer to as] the front lawn. I take my knitting, a beverage, my iPod, and the phone with me and sit there on summer evenings and late afternoons, usually until it is too dark to see. Sheer heaven.
The second spot is good spring through fall and is the only other place I go with the specific purpose of knitting: the front porch.
Of course, when I am knitting, I will have moved the boxes. They are on the table now because they have been removed from the treadmill at the right. That's a good thing, right, that the treadmill is being used?
The other places I knit are wherever I happen to be. Riding in Smokey's van, middle row or shotgun:
Riding in Matthew's van, ditto:
Riding shotgun in my car:
I'll spare you the back seat shot.
I knit pretty much everywhere I go except at work -- meetings, restaurants, on a plane, etc. You'll just have to imagine those.
But the very, very, very best place to knit is in my recliner:
Yes, our living room/dining room/kitchen is a 1976 time capsule. That's when this house was built; it had been used mostly as a weekend getaway when we bought it in 1991, so it seemed spendthrift-y to redecorate then. When we finish the remodel it will look more timeless (we hope).
That recliner, however, is excellent. Good light (will someone please invent a 3-way compact fluorescent so I don't have to feel guilty?), an infinite number of comfy positions, cozy afghan for the winter, ample surface to hold the obligatory beverage and knitting supplies. But the best part, aside from the fact that it more or less faces the fireplace, the TV, and the lake, is that corded control nestled in the corner. It is a powered recliner. Slowly leans back, slowly comes back up -- it goes high enough to take the sitter almost to a standing position. Don't need that yet, but I'm planning ahead.
