Not much new knitting or bloging lately as I am moving. Check out the view from the roof of my new place. Right now all my yarn (well except the stuff in my knitting bag) is packed into boxes waiting to be moved. One thing this move has taught me is that I have less yarn than I thought...perhaps I shoudl go shopping...
Ok, here's a contest...
Name 5 places other than your house or a knitting store where you have knit...
Post your list on your blog & put a link to it in the comments of this entry. Whomever has the most original place as picked by my DB will get a little knitting gift packages from me. We'll pick a winner on Friday, April 21.
Here's my list..
1. DMV
2. During preliminary hearing at the SF Courts (the judge even stopped a trial to ask what I was making)
3. Waiting in line for a screening of Willy Wonka
4. The garden of a SF biker bar (the riend I was with was mortified I brought my knitting but when I took it out 3 girls around me were thrilled & pulled out theirs!)
5. My company marketing meetings

Great ideas! I have added my list to my blog
Hey Kat, here's my list.
I've just added my list to my blog. It was fun trying to remember the different places I've knitted in...
I've added my list to my blog too. Thanks for an interesting contest.
Karen
How long ago were you in Port Huron? Its a cool city. Some great stores! I really miss the Christmas store that was downtown. I think it was downtown? I normally just had north on and go to Birchwood Mall, Mary Maxiums, Jo-Ann Fabrics and the book stores. Ohhh! And I head to Port Austin, MI about once a year too. My families been going there for about 31 years.
Happy Easter!
I added my list to my blog. It was hard to limit it to just 5 since I knit everywhere I go. I never leave home without my needles and yarn. Thanks for a great contest.
Monica
O.k. I'm in! I'm with Monica and never leave home without the needles and yarn. I'm sure I've forgotten some weird time I've knitted.
Hello, I saw the link on Karen's site (Yearns For Yarn) about your contest and thought I'd like to join. My places aren't so unusual though, especially not compared to yours...
I'm in!
Great contest idea! Here's my list. Good luck with your move!
I should get out more, LOL. 360.yahoo.com/andimc13

Kat, you have knit in some great places. I have put my list here http://askatknits.blogspot.com/
Have a great Monday!
I love all this public knitting! My post is on my blog at http://knittinghere.blogspot.com
I knit just about anywhere/everywhere but I have a list of the 5 most exotic on my blog at
http://www.zenknit.com/blog/?p=154
ooh can I play? here's my link http://knit-tigger.blogspot.com/2006/04/competition-and-good-cause.html dunno how to make it linky in comments, sorry.
I'm in.
You can check out my list at http://sarahhbknits.blogspot.com
clever idea, i posted mine
I posted mine over at my place!
The truly ironic thing about the # of sporting events I have knit at, is that I'm NOT a sports fan. I guess that's why I knit when I'm there *grins*
I added my list on my blog as well - what fun!
Well, this contest is near and dear to my heart. See, my blog is called "I Knit Around". I "knit around" in different interesting places, and my husband takes a picture for the blog.
This is also an ongoing challenge at my blog, as I have invited others to submit their own "Knitting Around" photos. If anyone reading this is interested in participating, you can find the details at:
http://www.folkcatart.com/knitaround/KAFAQ.html
There are no prizes planned at this time, only the fun of sharing interesting places where we have knit. Though I'm holding out the possibility of an annual set of "awards" for unusual entries.
You'll also find a full list of everyplace I've "Knit Around" on that web page, which is available full-time on my blog sidebar. If I had to pick, though, I'd say the highlights are:
1. On 11 Different Bridges in 140 Minutes
2. Riding on the sling of a trebuchet (a medieval siege weapon)
3. On the stage of a landmark vaudeville theater (the Wilton Town Hall Theatre)in front of an audience!
4. With the Budweiser Clydesdales.
5. In the kitchen of my favorite Chinese Restaurant.
I learned about your blog and contest through Unraveling (http://unraveling.typepad.com/unraveling/) today. I love your "chocolate" bunny! Is there a pattern?
Okay, here are my 5:
1) Under the hair dryer at the salon
2) On an airplane
3) In a bar on football day
4) On Muni
5) At work waiting for my computer to be fixed
It's posted and you are free to review at your leasure.. :)
Mine is posted.
Mine is posted as well.

What a great idea! :-)

Since I'm the only knitter in the world without a blog I'll post my response here:
1. While playing a highly competitive three round/three day trivial pursuit game. We still haven't determined the winner due to some cheating. Turned into my ribbed poncho
2. One scarf each for corresponding presidential debates. They were dubbed my "debates" scarves along with my "Academy Awards" scarf.
3. While drinking wine and watching multiple episodes of sex and the city. You shouldn't do this while knitting a complex lacey afghan pattern. With all that "distraction" on the screen about two feet had to be ripped out.
4. In the middle of multiple dinner parties and brunches.
5. Sneaking underneath my keyboard tray while at a client's waiting for very large files to "save". Such a waste of time if you don't break out your knitting!
I posted my list on my blog....
I put together my list too!! This is a great contest!
I had to repost, my link wasn't working so here it is again
Fun contest!!
So fun! My list is here. Scroll to the bottom.

Well here are my 5 :) ***CV
Here's my five!
Great contest idea! I posted my list today.
Kat - what a brilliant idea. I can hardly wait to read where everyone knits. Here's my list - http://majorknitter.typepad.com/major_knitter/2006/04/five_places_i_h.html#comments
Fabulous! My five are on my blog at knittingunderway.blogspot.com.
I've just listed my five places.
My list off the top of my head is here: http://stoneview.typepad.com/stoneview/2006/04/places_i_have_k.html
I posted my list to my blog: sheepishgrin.blogspot.com. It was fun to reminisce.

that was fun, AND knit related!
I'm in! The list is up and ready for review. Make sure you drink coffee. It's pretty dull.
Here's my list! What a good idea, thanks. :)
http://unioncenterknits.typepad.com/union_center_knits/2006/04/19/index.html
Found the contest from another blog--what a great idea! Here's my list.
I put my list up! It was interesting to think of/remember interesting places where I've knit. I'm sure I've knit in more interesting places than what listed, but finals are nearly upon me, and my brain can only take so much...=D Thanks!
Can I play, too? My list is up here: http://squid-knits.blogspot.com/2006/04/what-does-peacock-say.html
Please note that most of those locations were knit in within the last month. Only the corn maze is much older and that was last summer.
Okay, I've made an "official" entry post on my blog now.
http://www.folkcatart.com/knitaround/2006/04/knitting-around-meme.html
Enjoy, and thanks for encouraging the idea of knitting around!
Hi Kat!
Sounds like you enjoy KIP as much as I do. Please count me in... Here is my top 5 list of favorites. http://www.somebunnyslove.com/index.php/archives/a-contest-meme/

Great idea! I'll have to follow all of the links and see other lists. Being fairly new to knitting, I've not got much experience, but I posted a list anyway. :-)
Here's mine: I came across this via Jennifer, and, I must say, I listed merely for the fun of it.

Great idea. I love reading the responses. I posted my top 5 responses here. http://www.enchantedewe.com/enchanted_ewe/2006/04/knitting_in_pub.html

Sadly, mine is kinda boring. Maybe I need to be a more exciting knitter:

Kat, My List!
i've got my list posted on my blog. i heard about this from chappy's mom!
this is such a good idea. makes me feel a bit more normal about the weird places where i knit.
http://www.kittensmittensandknitthings.blogspot.com/
Mine might not be as unusual as some (although I plan to change that next winter) but I couldn't resist joining in and adding a couple of photos.
Thanks for the fun contest.
Great question! My list is at Spots for Knots.
Nothing really special or exotic or surprising! Here's the link to my blog: amysue's blog!
I can do this! Come check me out:
not a yarn snob
LOL Awesome contest! My answers are here...
http://goldenlovingknitter.blogspot.com/2006/04/five-places-ive-knit.html
Hope you have a great day I love checking out where the places people knit ;)
My list is here http://tattooedyarn.blogspot.com/
and is this
1. I worked at Eternal Tattoos in Livonia Michigan for 4.5 years as a 'shop girl' - I knit while working there almost constantly - people used to be really freaked out when they walked in and saw someone knitting first off. It was very comforting to most people and they would relax right away. 2. I knit while sitting in the speed boat and watching to make sure if someone falls while water skiing (a spotter) - we are a big water skiing family. 3. I have knit at the movie theatre during a movie if it is not crowded and we are not near people where it would distract them. 4. I have knit while getting tattooed. 5. I have knit in traffic - I live in Chicago - there's a lot of traffic - stop for a while and knit then we go again and I put in in my lap and drive a bit.
this was fun Thanks!
Hi everyone! thanks for playing along. I'm offically closing the contest now & passing all the lists on to Matt! We'll announce the winner soon.
I posted my list on my blog..
Kay I know it's closed but I'm posting a comment anyway since I had such a good time looking at everyone elses!
Kat I've added the meme to my blog too. This was a lot of fun - thanks for thinking of it. www.knottypurls.blogspot.com
I have posted my five spots for your reading pleasure.
Though it's too late for the contest, I've posted six....
Alas, too late to be in the contest. I always have a project in my car and in my bag in case I get stuck waiting at doctor, jury duty, whatever. But I will throw in five memorable places where I have boldly knit where no one has likely knit before:
1. Knitting a baby sweater in my unit while waiting for backup cops to help me serve a warrant on a dogfighting ring.
2. Pulling a cobweb lace shawl out of my backpack and hanging my feet over the edge after making a successful rockclimbing effort in Yosemite National Park in the summer of 1980. Whew!
3. Sitting on top of a Porta-Potty at a Grateful Dead show (hey, great view) at Red Rocks and working on the same shawl that same summer.
4. During album hour on the overnight shift at the radio station where I DJ'd in college. I got a LOT of stuff knitted then!
5. In the passenger seat of a supply truck when it wasn't my turn to drive on supply runs for Katrina animal rescue work. Kept me sane.
