Where do you sit when you knit?

General Knitting
1

I have been wondering this for a while, mainly because I cannot seem to find the right spot in our house to be comfy for knitting. I moved from one spot to the other for more light but there is no real table so I use the plastic storage bin for my yarn (with a lid) to set my knitting, coke, tv remotes, etc.

Do all of you experienced knitters have that perfect spot to do your knitting or is wherever you sit the perfect spot? I am hoping to have my perfect spot after we move to NJ this summer so right now I just have to make due… :XX:

My perfect spot is on my computer chair in my room. I usually just prop my yarn on my lap.

It did take me a little bit to find it though.

3

I haven’t found a perfect spot, though I seem to knit a lot in bed (I have very lil’ “sitting” furniture).

Someday, I’d love to get a rocking chair, because I rock myself unconsciously when I knit/crochet.

4

I have a corner of the couch that is mine! I sit on a pillow and I have a special lamp to help me see well. I take up 1/2 of the coffee table with my knitting stuff and the rest of it is in leather boxes between the speakers and the TV - it must be close! Usually I have a dog on either side of me, stretched out on their own pillows!

5

I have a big dark green recliner that is mine all mine, right here by the computer desk. It is sooo comfortable - perfect for knitting in. :XX:

Oooo, this does sound nice. My mom has one of the ‘newer’ rocking chairs with the ottoman and it is so comfy. She got lucky with that one. Yes, a rocking chair would make due.

I am recalling the movie (I forget the name!) the one where Tom Hanks pairs up with 2 other guys to rob a bank, and he takes a room with an older lady and she’s in this one scene rocking in her chair and humming and knitting. So peaceful. (I won’t tell you what’s in that scene, don’t worry she doesn’t die.)

Yes, a rocking chair would be nice[size=2]…(sighing softly to myself and humming)[/size]

Yea, one of the newer rocking chairs with a ottoman would be nice. My grandma had a table that had a lamp coming out of it and a shelf (and maybe even a magazine holder). I think that a combination of the two would be nice for me. Oh, I can’t wait to move! :cheering:

Me too!!!

I have a corner of the couch that is mine!

Me too!!

where do i do the MOST knitting? movie theatre! :wink:

otherwise i am a corner of the couch girl too!

I usually knit on my sisters beanbag in her room while she’s playing vidio games. It’s not really the ideal spot. I don’t really have a real knitting spot… I might find one soon! :happydance:

11

As I sit in a fold-out chair meant for camping/tailgating in my empty living room waiting for the movers to bring me my stuff, I am very jealous of your couches, computer chairs, and especially rocking chairs! But yeah, I’m trying to learn socks and Continental knitting (at the same time) sitting in a camping chair. But I usually sit on my couch…I wonder where between Philly and Oregon my couch is, actually.

:x: (in a camping chair!)

12

you know i was at my sit n knit this last week and one of the girls came in carting her own chair…it sounds like it was just like your chair and i think she had the best place in the joint, as i sat on the couch. she had the can holder in one arm for her drink and one for her cell phone. She looked mightily comfy compared to the people sitting on the floor or footstools! :thumbsup:

13

I usually sit in the corner of the couch. I’ve got a special light, to make me see everything.

14

I’m like some of the others. I have “my” corner of the sofa and my knitting sits to my left on the floor at my feet because I like to knit if I’m watching TV. All my knitting sits in what looks like a magazine holder (it’s the best way I can describe it) and that way it’s always handy when I sit down to watch some television. :slight_smile: We have a great big wooden chest in front of the sofa that is used as storage space and a coffee table that I am considering putting some of my stash into… now to find some way to sneak that by DH. LOL

15

When I knit I sit in my living room in a nice big shabby chic style fabric chair. It’s perfect. I have a footstool to match and am very comfy there.

16

I have my corner of the couch too… but I have to watch or that will cause my wrist/back to start to ache… then I move to my glider rocking chair and prop my feet up on the ottoman and knit away… this is where I would normally sit but I try the couch to sit near dh… :lol:

ETA: I also love to sit outside in my swing while I knit…

17

I usuallysit in a rocker/recliner and watch tv in my basement lol! Or I just sit on my bed in front of yet a tv

18

I like to recline against a few propped up pillows in my bed. I keep thinking it must be bad posture-wise, but I feel more relaxed that way than sitting up properly, which usually gets uncomfortable for me after a while. Of course, there are many times when I end up sitting right in front of my computer with my knitting, trying to follow a technique from one of Amy’s videos!

At my desk at work! … Or my corner of the couch at home, but then I nearly come to blows with DH over my need for light! :wall:
