Inspired by a few people who where talking about their knitting nooks and where they work on the Three Irish Girls forum, and also a post or two that I cam across in the last week (which I now can’t find the source… oh well). I thought I would share some pictures the new place Michael and I have moved into.
By new place, I mean we’ve been here for more than two months, but before now, it hasn’t really quite felt like home, just the place we crashed. I’m starting to feel proprietary toward the place, which tells me that it’s starting to feel like home.
So, my time is divided by two places. Most of my blogging and pattern writing happens at the computer desk that I share with Michael. However, since I spend more time there, I have my bookshelf right next to the desk space. I do have to try my best to keep the desk space clean, because Michael also uses it, but now, after a few years of sharing a desk, he’s become quite tolerant of my mess.
When I’m just working on a project or a sample, swatching or doing other things, I’ll put a show I don’t have to watch on my computer (or put a book on tape on) and work at the couch. I’ve got an ottoman where things get thrown into when I’m not working on them, so Michael doesn’t sit on them and they don’t get tangled or ruined.
Stuff that needs to be blocked or needs to be spread out is put on the kitchen table. I can add two leaves to it, and then stick my mats on it to block something big out.
Finally, if I’m just crocheting for fun I’ll settle into the comfy chair, but the comfy chair is only really for work that isn’t under a deadline, because most times when I’m in this chair? I end up drifting off or falling asleep. Also, this chair is comfy, but not so much when you are trying to get real work done… it doesn’t provide much back support.
So now that I’ve shared my work space, what does yours look like? Tell me about it, or post some pictures and link back. I love to look at where other people work.
