I love to cuddle under a blanket in bed, put a show on Netflix, and work on my current project. Thank you for sharing the beautiful patterns with us!
My corner has comfy chair, a table large enough for my WIP, and laptop. I usually “watch” movies while crocheting or listen music.
I crochet in my family room with my tuxedo kitty on my lap. Now I will be making several of these cowls . I love this pattern.

Gorgeous cowl this week, thank you so much! And thank you as well for last week’s give away! I never win anything!
I do most crocheting on the couch in my living room with something on the TV in the background. If its a complicated pattern, I sit at the table. Less comfy but better for concentrating.
I crochet in the living room on my sofa chair with my laptop beside me and favourite programmes on TV. My cockatiel likes to perch on my head while I crochet. She comes down to investigate the yarns and hooks, hopping and nibbling on everything. Most of my rubber backed crochet hooks have got nibbled ends because of her :)
I love to knit or crochet sitting in my recliner watching TV. My cats usually are laying on my lap or the arm of the chair and I have my tablet or phone there to see my pattern instructions. I love pattern PDF’s! All my tools are in bins or baskets near my chair.
I usually crochet in my recliner watching TV or in front of the computer if I don’t feel like printing out a pattern. I love this cowl and can’t wait to make one. Thank you so much!

My favourite place to crochet is in our TV room, sitting in MY recliner, under My special lamp.I haven’t seen the Cascade Yarns Venezia Sport before, would love to make a cowl in both the 301 Dahlia & 123 Dark Bronze shades using the G/6 (4mm) crochet hook!
What a lovely pattern! Thank you very much. My favorite place to knit or crochet is on my comfy leather couch with my feet propped up on the ottoman watching TV. Although I’ve used Cascade 220 before, I have not used Venezia Sport. I would love to make the cowl in Ruby and my favorite hook size is a G.
