Knitting and Crocheting Blog Week Part 2 Make Up time

I was slow to join the party. So I have 2 more topics so that I will have 5 topics to have covered for the 5 days of the week that have gone by. The previous 3 topics I covered were hints taken from Knitted Bliss' Julie Crawford (I have already covered her fabulosity, so I won't gild the lily any longer), and the next 2 I have actually picked up as hints from the knit and crochet blog website. I hope that you enjoy.
Topic 1: Location, Location, Location
Where do you like to indulge in your craft? Is your favourite arm chair your little knitting cubby area, or do you prefer to ‘knit in public’? Do you like to crochet in the great outdoors, perhaps, or knit in the bath, or at the pub?
When I was trying to establish my knitting room, I had delusions of grandeur for a gliding rocker or a lovely deep armchair. This, however, would have posed a problem, because my knitting room was 1/2 of a attic/loft, which sloped deeply. So those chairs would have to be very short. I am already very short, 5'1", but to find such a chair would have been difficult. Lord willing, I will find an average room for my dream yarn room someday.
As for wierd places I have knit, I must say that I have no shame. I used to work at a hospital, so I have knit behind an ER desk. I knit while I am fishing or camping near a campfire. I knit when I am recovering from surgery. I normally knit in the living room on the couch. I knit every where. I think that knitting in the bath would be problematic with non-colorfast yarn. And I have knit under the influence, but following a pattern while doing so is rather tricky.
Topic 2: One Great Knitter

Write about a knitter whose work (whether because of project choice, photography, styling, scale of projects, stash, etc) you enjoy. If they have an enjoyable blog, you might find it a good opportunity to send a smile their way.
Ok. Here goes. I have admiration for several people. I love nevernotknitting's Alana Dakos. I have the good fortune of being her friend. She is all-around wonderful person, and a great designer. In addition to being beautiful and a fantastic knitter. Oh, and a very amusing podcaster. Here is her link: http://www.nevernotknitting.blogspot.com/
Next up: Everybody knows Stephanie Pearl McPhee. Her work is genius. I dream that someday she will send me a pair of socks that she made for me. (By the way, I am a women's size medium, and I love green)Also, she is hysterically funny, and I always find myself guffawing at her commentary. Here is her link: http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/
I have always continued to rave about Julie Crawford's Knitted Bliss blog. She is amusing, her knits are awesome, colors are great. We share a similar sensibility and other interests. Only a few differences. My photos aren't that great, I do not wear a size 0, and I can't seem to crank out a new project every 3 days. Oh, and I don't look like a supermodel. But catch it! She is the bomb! http://www.knittedbliss.com/
I also love Thea Colman of Baby Cocktails. Her knits have just the right amount of sensibility for my area. Thin, gossamer knits are awesome, and I would make and wear them all the time if I could. But they just don't wear well out here in CO. Her knits are wearable, durable, and have a east coast/western chic that I think that I could pull off. http://www.babycocktails.blogspot.com/
And finally, the blue garter, aka Sarah. She is from Portland, OR. A mecca for awesome yarn stores. Lucky girl. I love everything she does. It really speaks to me. Her color combos and designs. Wow. I don't know. It just fills my soul. And her baby Ada is pretty darn cute too.http://www.bluegarter.org
