My little corner of the world

True to yesterday's word, I've uploaded some more knitting pics so that it looks like I actually DO knit. Check out the slideshow. I've been knitting for over 2 years but my problem is that so many of my knitting projects have been given away and I wasn't very good at taking photos before gifting. Oh well.

And because I love peeks into other blogger's lives, I also thought I'd include a picture of my favorite place to sit and knit and think. Here it is:

In my new condo I was able to set up a sitting/knitting spot in my bedroom. I love it. I know you can't see the rocker very much but it's very special as my mom and dad gave it to me when my son was born (10 years ago!) and I can't tell you the number of times I have sat in it and fallen asleep (then and now). The rocking motion of this chair has soothed me when I haven't been able to sleep, soothed me when I needed to catch my breath and it soothes me when I just don't know what to do with myself as I travel through this divorce process. Simply knowing it's there comforts me. The cute little bookshelf was a Maine antique/flea market find on one of my trips to visit my sister and it holds most of my knitting books. Underneath and to the right of the shelves you can find my knitting magazines. Haven't yet figured out a good way to store those... And because yarn is so pretty, I have a beautiful basket full of yarny goodness to look at as I rock when I'm feeling too tired to knit. Even my knitting needles have a place of honor in a pretty pitcher. (I had to move these to the left side of the table because everytime P sat down on the rocker, he couldn't resist using my knitting needles as drum sticks - on the table, on the floor, on his knees...)

So that's my little corner of the world. I hope everyone has a wonderful spot to sit and just be.
