knitting corners of my home…

Monkee maker started this a few weeks ago (I’m always late to the party!) and I’ve really enjoyed seeing where other people get knitty with it. So I thought I’d share a few knitting corners of my home.

After the kids are off to school and I’ve made a cuppa I’m to be found
curled up here in the lounge – with the morning sun shinning through
the window behind me it’s a nice spot. (note the clever angle that I used to take this shot which avoids the dust, crumbs and other detritus strewn across the floor)

In the afternoon the light is better at the back of the house and you can find me sat here in the trampoline viewing gallery whilst keeping an eye on the kids if they’re out in the garden. (Please try to ignore the view outside the window – both the mess and the small bottom – you get used to both around here!)

After the mayhem that is teatime my next knitting stint comes at bathtime:

Tobybath

Luckily for me Toby likes a long and playful bath!

I’m glad that knitting is so portable and that I get a change of scenery throughout the day. I can also knit in the garden (when it’s warm and dry) and that’s probably my favourite. I do however quite envy some of the lovely craft rooms that I’ve seen on my travels through blogland especially Heather Bailey’s, and Manda’s and of course Katie’s awesome shed. Maybe I could persuade H to find the lawnmower a new home and commandeer our little shed as a little cotton rabbits craft oasis (I wish) but in all likelihood I’ll have to stick to being a knitting nomad!

Take up the Monkee Maker challenge and show us where you do your thing!

New email address!

Yesterday I had around 800 bounced back emails pour into my inbox – looks like
they were part of a mass mail out with my email address configured
in as the return addres – how do they do that? Anyway I’ve decided to dump my email address and take on a new one. To contact me you can either leave me a comment here or click ’email me’ on the left which links into my new email account. Hopefully that will sort the problem – fingers crossed!
