There you go, I've responded to your universal meme tag. Boy my house is messy.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one without the magazine perfect home. I've posted my space and you're welcome to visit anytime. Thanks for sharing yours.

Hello - and it's great to see your knitting spot. It's fun to see everyone's "nest."

I'm going to take you up on your tag, and show the spot where I'm diligently working on my knitting olympic project!

Hi Sandy! I love the color of your sofa and the green carpet brings back memories of home. Come on over to my place and please forgive the clutter. I have 12 year, 6 year and 17 month old boys who daily leave their trails in the house. I posted a picture a while back, but I've changed the quilt and expanded the scope to share with the world this olympic knitters' quarters. Have a wonderful day and happy knitting:D

I like the green carpet! It's unexpected, in a lovely way.

I do most of my knitting at work, and we're not supposed to take pictures in here...security and all. I'll try to get my spot at home tomorrow, but no promises (not because I'll back out, but because I have a terrible memory.)

I'm a deviantARTist and so the working space, complete with pointed out things.

Ah, your house aint bad....you can still see the floor!!!Yeah, we've been "gonna replace" the carpet in our house for the past 19, ahem, years, but ours is 'burnt orange". Ah, who cares anymore....the new carpet smell would make it hard to breathe, and I'd hafta board somewhere til it wore off.......
Iffen I had a blog, I would not have "a" knitting place. I knit in bed, in the car, at the kitchen table, on the sofa, wherever there is an available spot to work, again ahem.
I love the "closet chair".....how about closet house for me, oh, but I don't want to appear on the nightly news.........

P.S. Posted a pic of the fair isles bag i'm to knit for the knitting olympics! Told you I'm nuts!

I too like the shade of green that your carpet is. It's quite fashionable these days. May I suggest painting your walls a pale blue or a pale green and play up the color? It's much cheaper and a little easier than having new carpet installed.

Maybe I'm just in a painting frame of mind ;-)

Nice tour of your knitting knook.

I haven't done this one yet, I'll post them tomorrow. I promise.

Your wish is my command! :-)

BTW, I had Bearitage something-or-other once, and it wasn't bad at all. It was a Merlot-and-something blend (cab, probably.)

We have 4+ hockey bags (1 teen boy, 1 teen girl, 1-11yo boy and 1-5 yo girl, plus the husband's referee and coaching bags, the lacrosse bags, and the boxes of extra skates, gear, jerseys, etc) so they live in an unfinished room in the basement. The several dozen sticks live in the garage with the pucks, balls, nets.... Currently the yarn lives in a couple of big plastic bins under the end tables and coffee table in the living room but it is hoping for an armoire or pie safe of its own soon. Thanks for the visit.

Since the orderly mob has already visited my home, I think I'll pass.

;-)

YAY! Thanks Sandy!

I hear you on the closets. I have two in my house plus a little cubby that was set up to hold coats (read indent in wall with rod). We have a swimmer so we also have lots of gear sitting around. This year we got a hall tree which has helped with the coats, mittens, backpacks and such.

I'll go right now and take a pic. Then I will hobble back and post it. Thanks for making me exercise.

I've been tagged. The first time ... guess I wasn't ducking and dodging well enough. OK - remember those things we listed a while back that we don't do too much anymore. I don't think I mentioned cleaning up the clutter, but for those brave enough to visit, I'll put on a pot of coffee, whip up some cookies and take some pictures this weekend.

You could always knit a Hockey Bag Cozy....

Your knitting spot looks terrific. An ottoman! Oh, my kingdom for an ottoman! Or any man, for that matter. ;)

Someone mentioned the color of your sofa is like the sky....which brings to mind that the color of your carpet is like the rolling green hills of Ireland. There. Don't you feel better about the carpet now? It works for me!

Thanks for sharing. I don't have a blog so I can't post a picture of my knitting spot. I can relate to the enormity of that hockey bag. I have a figure skater and as we come and go from the rink we pass the hockey families. I am constantly amazed at how such small kids need stuff that fits in those huge bags. Then the teen hockey players come in and it's those freakishly large bags like the one you displayed. I swear they could fit a body or three in one of those things. The carpet is quite nostalgic!

Thank you for posting the "full disclosure" photos. It's nice to know that you, the Sky Queen, are human and live in a normal looking home, not a House Beautiful magazine spread.

And hey! Was that Paula Dean on tv in that photo? I bet whatever she was cooking took at least "two sticks of buttuh."

hee hee hee

Your knitting spot looks very cozy! I will go post mine right now.

Okay, I posted a picture of my knitting spot. You're lucky I didn't post one of my kitchen. I enjoy reading your blog. And I don't have a big enough closet, either.

Thanks for sharing! It's so fun to peek into houses. This has to be one of the best memes I've seen.

I really like the color of your couch - it looks like sky. Gee, what a surprise! As for the closets, well, dude, I hear ya. My house has 3 freakin' closets TOTAL. Yup. 3.

Oh my gosh you are SO BRAVE to allow a hockey bag in your house! Thank god Jason keeps his hockey gear in the coaches room at the rink.

I can smell the stink just thinking about it.

I haven't done it yet, but just for you, I will, I promise :)

You have my sympathy, mother of teen...,trying to carve out a little space/time for yourself to knit.... I have a new blog and haven't figured out how to put pictures on it yet. When I do I will put up a knitting spot photo. What is a meme?

I do! I have a closet big enough to hold a hockey bag. Unfortunately it's all full of other CRAP, so the hockey bag wouldn't fit in there, still. ;-)

That looks like a damn comfy knitting spot. Thanks for sharing.

Are those felted clogs on your feet? Mine are on my feet. I love your knitting spot and that your house looks like mine.
My laundry, etc spot is on the floor next to my high chest. It's just a natural magnet for stuff!

Now, see? I'm about to re-do my living room and we are considering a color scheme where that carpet would be wonderful! I love that shade of green, at least the shade that is coming up on my monitor...and the cookie tin...good idea. Thanks for having me over, Sandy.
