I made so much good progress on my sweater this weekend! I finished the body, including my first split hem which I kind of love.
After I took this photo, I looked around my craft room and decided it needed an update. I used to use a 6′ folding table as a desk and a few months ago switched it out for a smaller library table. I love the smaller desk; it’s beautiful, it belonged to my dad, and it’s a great writing desk. But when I took out the big table, I lost a place to spread out as well as a place to wind yarn. So every time I wanted to wind yarn, I had to take everything downstairs and clean off the coffee table. That got tiresome. So! Plan B: put the library table in the corner with the north light, so I can still set things on it for photos, and put the folding table back up!
Now I have a lot more table space, but the room still feels big and open. And I really like my desk in that corner. In fact, I spent the rest of the day up there, watching movies on my laptop and knitting. I wove in all the current ends on the sweater, added the neckband, and got the first sleeve picked up and started! The room feels very cozy. I think my long term goal is to get a small, comfortable arm chair for this corner, so I can sit here and look out into my craft room like this:
If I did that, though, my family might never see me!

A comfy chair in that corner would be perfect. What a lovely craft room you have.
Thank you! I’m very lucky. š
That wall of yarn would be super inspiring to look at:)
Exactly! That’s why I keep it stored like that, instead of in bins or bags. Dust can be cleaned off. š
It looks beautiful!
I can’t wait till I get to have my craft room….not that I’m anxious for the girls to leave home! Well, maybe a little.
LOL I get it. It’s a little of both, bittersweet.
Looks like a lovely space! Nice and open and airy, lots of room for creativity.
That would be a beautiful view indeed! I hear you on the struggling for winding spots… I’ve unfortunately had to discover that a heavy book can be used as a good approximation for a table if absolutely necessary but it’s not nearly as stable.
Beautiful craft room
What a lovely room you have!
What a gorgeous craft room, how do you ever leave??
It is very difficult!
