The View From My Knitting Place

I knit in lots of spots around my house.  Sometimes in front of the tv.  Sometimes in a chair in my kitchen.  Out on my patio (when it's warm and the furniture is in place, that is!).  But, most evenings, you'll find me in my Knitting Place . . .

one end of the couch in the library of our house.  The lighting is good.  A window looks out into my front yard.  It's generally very quiet.  I can leave my knitting things on the little table beside the couch.  There is an electric outlet to plug in my iPod when it needs recharging.  There is no tv.  And Jenny can get comfortable beside me -- in Her Place (the opposite end of the same couch).

This week's Ten on Tuesday topic is . . . Ten Things You Can See From Your Favorite Knitting Spot.  Here's what can I see from my Knitting Place. . .

1.  Books!  (Lots of books.)

2.  Family photos, knick-knacks and tchotchkes that make me smile.

3.  Knitting paraphernalia and yarn.

4.  My iPod or my iPad.

5.  A dog toy or two, and probably a rawhide chewie for good measure.

6.  The world . . . literally. . . out the window.

7.  The world . . . figuratively. . . on the globe.

8.  A cup of tea . . . or a glass of wine, depending on the time of day.

9.  Jenny (always).

And, usually, in this chair . . .

10.  Tom.  It's where he sits in the evening to read . . . or work at going through his glut of email. . . or just to chat with me.  (But, as you can see, his chair is empty right now.  Because he's still in India.)

What can YOU see from your favorite knitting place?

That looks like a beautiful spot, I am thoroughly impressed with all those books. These posts are making me want to visit everyone! I'm sorry Tom is still away and I hope he will be home soon.

I am a tiny bit envious of your alone time, because I am never alone...but I know it gets old rather quickly, too.
Your knitting spot looks cozy, and a little bit like mine. Books, dogs, a globe and other tchotchkes, including knitting paraphernalia. I'm still looking for a comfy chair. Cozy is key!

[Beth]

Love the books! This looks like a wonderful place to spend an evening. So cozy and comfortable!

[Marilyn]

What a wonderful room to knit in! It just fits you, Kym. :)
Sorry the other chair is empty at the moment though...

[Rachel]

Excellent knitting place. I especially love the books and the Tom place :)

Oh and I see you are gartering right now too!

[Vicki]

Nice spot! Love it!! Hope Tom is set to return soon.

[Patty]

A wonderful world. That afghan is just beautiful! Wishing you company in that chair soon...

[Nichole]

Looks like a cozy spot!

What a fabulous spot! Thanks for sharing with photos.

pretty spot - all those books!!!! and love that there's no TV. one of the things I really love about marc being gone is that the TV isn't on much. (she types as she's about to log off the computer, turn on the TV, and knit!)

[Dianne]

That sounds idyllic!

I love your room Kym. And that couch looks so awesomely perfect for knitting. It sounds so idyllic and the right spot. So glad that your husband can sit there with you and just be with you.

What a great place to knit! All I can see is sky out our windows when sitting. I hope Tom comes home soon! Michael has been away for a couple of days, and the house is so quiet without him; I feel like I should tip-toe.

I think you struck a chord with this post!

My first glance provoked the thought, "Ah yes, there is her fab-u-lous afghan..." And it didn't even make the cut! ; ) Looks nice and cozy, though (despite the afghan snub, ha! ha!), and I would be happy to soak up that sunshine any day.
