Most of the time I knit on the chaise area of the huge sectional that occupies our tiny living room. It’s actually the most used part of the couch…and the cushion isn’t reversible so I can’t flip it once in a while. On occasion I’ll lodge myself into the corner of the sectional when I want to be warm and cozy and don’t have to get up for a while. I wish work had a more “private” area to go sit. The lunch room is too big, noisy, and messy (because SOME people don’t know how to wipe a table after they eat all over it), and the lobby is smallish, but still, contant traffic. There is an area by the back steps that has a huge floor to ceiling window that overlooks the “smokers’ cage” that has a strip of carpet between the window and the stairwell. I’ll grab that but the occasional reader or cell user might be there.
in my bed!
I knit everywhere I can. Today I knit at the sub shop in one of those swivel chairs connected to the table, at the bandstand sitting on the cement step, on a straight backed wooden chair at the coffee shop, on a wildly uncomfortable bench on the village green, on our friends’ front stoop with their idiot dog trying to stick his head in the knitting bag, and at the playground on a slightly more comfortable bench.
I find that can knit for longer periods of time while in the car rather than at home. I think sitting upright (in the car) helps me for some reason. My arms get tired easily, which is very frustrating do the the severity of my addiction…

I currently do not have a job right now and wish I could knit for hours upon hours, but my arms hurt after just an hour… depending on the complication of the pattern. I definately cannot knit while slouching!! Hurts my arms!! Maybe some day they’ll toughen up…
I sit in the corner of the couch with my knitting stuff in a basket by my left side. The lamp is the little table beside me so I can see better.
my favourite place is my armchair with footrest & good neck support. I can’t slouch anyway knitting for too long as it makes my back & neck hurt. The same thing happens if I sit at a regular table to play cards, not
that I play very often.
What exit???

Here’s my knitting spot - in a rocking chair in my craft room. Heaven. 
OOoooo I would love to sit out on the porch and knit. Now if I just had a porch 
…
I do have one of those glider rockers though. (baby shower gift 10 years ago) and it is perfect for knitting. But when I’m at home I usually just knit in my bed. It’s very comfy (futon with spring mattress underneath). Otherwise I knit everywhere I go, on the bus, in line at the grocery store, at the library, you name it.
most times it’s the couch for me - either couch, but ideally the corner next to the Ott-Lite.
I do this sometimes too:
I sit cross-legged on the bed and knit and watch TV.
I sit on the right side of the couch, with my left side leaning into it. It’s MY spot. It’s where the light is and all.
I’d love to get a glider or one of those chaise counch thingys 
I sit on my bed and watch TV, too. And I also surf KH from there. 
they place i work p/t has a chaise lounge website and i was perusing the site this weekend dreaming of all the furniture i wanted to fill my new house.
alas…i should probably buy the house first… :verysad:
I don’t sit because the only time I get a chance to knit is watching my kids and standing on a commuter’s train.
We have one of those chaise lounge chairs, there is a cushion so it can be a chair only and a ottoman with a chaise cushion to be a chaise and everytime I try to sit in it and knit, it just does not work. With 3 kids I am getting up and down all the time and in that I am climbing in and out of it all the time. The more I think about it, I want to get a glider and glider ottoman when we move, it will be my space to sit and knit, read or just relax!
On my okole! :roflhard:
I have the same light battle for light too! Then when I can turn on the one next to me, it’s really not bright enough. Hanging my arm over the edge of the couch does nothing except put it to sleep.
I have an old reading lamp that I bought at a consignment store for about 10 dollars. I replaced the bulb with a high intensity flourescent bulb, and it has just as much shine as an Ott Lamp!
I thought of that, but that would only fuel the battle.
Mostly airplane seats (ouch!) and hotel beds due to work travel.
At home I sit in our bedrrom lounging chairs. They spin (wheeee!) so if I need to adjust my position for better light I can.
Key for me is to have as close to a straight back as possible so as not to aggravate anything in the neck/shoulders.
