Books are in my closet. Shelves are too short, so they’re lying down, and I can’t really see what title is where. And forget pulling one out. They all come out, and usually fall over in a heap.

My needles, tools,etc. are also in a storage bin.

So, if I didn’t say it before, Oh My Lord – I am SO jealous!!

If I DID have a knitting room, I’d want a window. Natural light for Ravelry photos , and a good view for inspiration. A comfy chair, LOTS of storage, yarn pleasantly displayed, a bookcase or shelf that holds my books properly, and a desk. For blogging about how great my knitting (room) is

My perfect space would have to have the following:

1. A lock and key so my children can’t come and bug me.
2. Comfy chairs (extra large) for me and my knitter friends.
3. A fireplace, cabinets for yarn, bookcases for books, baskets for overflow yarn and needles.
4. A plasma TV on the wall (so I can have mindless TV going if I want)
5. A mini fridge
6. A cabana boy to wait on me hand and foot, so all I had to do was sit in my comfy chair and knit.
7. Blankets, because sometimes I get cold and like to snuggle under a good blanket.

Oh, and someone to keep it all clean and free of moths. I guess the cabana boy could do that job too….

I think you need to add a flat screen TV over the low cabinet, a DVD player of course, some surround sound speakers, AND another comfy chair or loveseat so you can share the space with a few select special knitting companions.

My knitting space? Oh, wherever…the family room, the kitchen, sitting on my bed, the car, the Emergency Room, concerts, lectures…………..!!

More importantly, my perfect knitting space would not be used to store other random stuff, because I’d have another place to store random stuff . (This is the big problem with my current crafts room; it’s actually a crafts, office, filing, and miscellaneous random stuff room. It’s so crowded that it’s hard to walk around in, and every time I want to sit down I have to move something off a chair, so I don’t spend any more time in there than I absolutely have to. Plus, the room’s function is fixing to change in the next year, so I have to find new places for the crafts, office, filing, and miscellaneous random stuff.)

My actual knitting space is one of the chairs in the living room; I just haul my knitting bag over and go to it.

Right now my knitting space is at the kitchen table. We have a CD player & my IPod. My WH usually plays solitaire on his laptop so it’s nice to be with him. It’s nice that we can talk when we want to or be quiet when we want.
