Day 7: Your Knitting and Crochet Time

2KCBWDAY7

Write about your typical crafting time. When it is that you are likely to craft – alone or in more social environments, when watching TV or whilst taking bus journeys. What items do you like to surround yourself with whilst you twirl your hook like a majorette’s baton or work those needles like a skilled set of samurai swords. Do you always have snacks to hand, or are you a strictly ‘no crumbs near my yarn!’ kind of knitter.

Step 1:  Change into my “uniform”  This is what my Hubs calls what I wear in the house.  It usually consists of one of three sweat suit outfits or the fuzzy, soft loungewear he bought me for Christmas.

Step 2:  Set up the TV table next to the bed.

Step 3:  Make sure I have cell phone and house phone on TV tray (so I don’t have to get up to answer the phone)

Step 4:  Place something to drink, usually a cup of tea or a Pepsi, and something to nosh on, on the table.

Step 5:  Have remotes handy: DVD and TV, depending on what I will be watching

Step 6: Pull out the netbook and set it up.

Step 7:  Pull out whatever project I will be working on.  I usually pull out two, a crochet project, plus a knit project.

Step 8:  make sure I have a notions bag, plus a hook case and/or needle case out, too.

Step 9:  Settle down into the bed and begin working.

Now during the week, I normally will take a quick nap when I get home, usually while watching Judge Judy.  Then I’ll have dinner and then work a bit on a project or correct papers (sometimes ze job gets in the way)

On the weekend, this is where I can be found most of the time.  Unless

a) I’m on the computer and I need to do a lot of surfing, as the netbook can be slow

b.) I actually need to go somewhere

c.) I’m doing lesson plans, which take place in the other room on the desktop.

The netbook is the only thing missing, I forgot to set it up….
