Right now, it’s bird by bird* here. I’m pretty okay with that. After all, it seems to work for knitting. Can you tell the Terra has grown? Only 20 more rows to the lace …
It’s squishy and wonderful and really the only thing that keeps me in my chair some days.
Inspired by Nadine’s recent peek at her home office, I thought I’d share too. What you don’t see: the heating pad that is soothing my physical therapy bruises (the bad man found lots of places that hurt … made them feel better by poking really hard, then sent me on my way to await the inevitable = ouch).
Now, back to the next bird.
* If you don’t already know Anne Lamott, her writing is lovely. Bird by Bird — and, well, Lucky Jim (but that’s another story) — have both gotten me through the tight spots. Maybe Calvin Trillin and Elizabeth Zimmermann, too. And countless detective stories.

I LOVE Anne Lamott. I wonder if she has a blog…
Cheers!
Your work space is lovely and puts mine to shame! I’ll have to check out Bird by Bird. Thanks for the recommendation!
Lucky Jim’s a favorite of mine.
wow, love your desk! I’d love to work there… My home office is really just the desk in the living room – I abandoned a permanent workspace at home together with my old desktop PC and keep all of my stuff at my office on campus.
Lovely to see your work space. It looks so … productive! Very organised and yet cosy and comfortable at the same time (and there’s tea!).
Thanks for the Anne Lamott pointer – I’ve not heard of her so will go and have a find-out.
Keep on knitting, i want to see the lace!
How can you write a dissertation and have such a tidy desk!!! Never heard of Anne Lamott, but will check it out!
love this peek at your work are. mine is much darker. and smaller. hence my daydreaming of a little house outside of town…anne lamott is the woman who writes about shitty first drafts, right? i do appreciate that. (revisions abound over here. or will, once i stop reading and start writing/re-writing the sections that need work).
Where did you get such a nice big desk? I’ve been having trouble figuring out where to look. (Though you might say Ikea, and I haven’t thought to look there as I don’t shop there…)
I love little peaks into people’s workplaces. Thanks for sharing yours.
Hadn’t heard of Anne Lamott before. Might have to go find a book of hers.
Bird by Bird was great and loved that you made a reference to it. I’m reading your Terra posts, thinking about my next shawl project and this might be it.
On Ravelry you rated it as easy. Really? How about for a non-lace knitter?
