Day in the Life of ..

So excited that I finished my Rock Island Shawl! I haven’t blocked it yet but that’s just not really my kind of thing.  I am also happy to say that I am working on my next project, Persuading Jane. This will be the first bottom up project I have done in 5 years! Nothing to show for it yet though, only 2/3 of the way through the initial 3″ ribbing. 

It’s pretty much Thursday!! So that means I shall be knitting with friends this evening providing I sleep soon and make it through work. Dreadfully, I have not finished my Minion and he’s probably not going to be finished in time for this years birthday either. So perhaps if time permits this weekend I can force myself to get some work done on it.  Perhaps when I go to knit w/the ladies this weekend!

So I’ve been here a few times over the past few years.  I do the 9-6pm shift so I don’t make it here during the day unless it’s a weekend. There is not a lot of seating inside so you may wind up outside which is often fine with the lovely San Diego weather. If you’re lucky to have your pick of tables iside, there is enough light to see at all the tables but I felt that the seats closer to the door had more lighting than those in the back.

If you plan to knit and are forced to sit outside after dark, then do not bring your dark projects. There is lighting outside but it’s not spread evenly so depending on where you sit you may find that the lighting is not adequate in some spots. I’ve also noticed that this seems to be the high school/college hangout and frequently see kids hanging out having a good time. While there is plenty of seating outside as it is shared between the establishments, there are only so many spots with enough light in the evenings.

Parking:  shared between a few adjacent eateries and a Smart & Final which I frequent and have had no problems finding parking any time I’ve visited.
My personal opinion about this location is that the drinks are inconsistent in taste and quality.  I took the time to write corporate so things may change soon. The last visit to this location was sometime May 2017. 


Places to Knit (in Public) 

Over the past couple of years I’ve been compiling a list of places to knit, or not to knit.  Originally, I was sticking to Starbucks in the area because I wanted to see which was the best one but I end up knitting everywhere and places outside the realm of Starbucks may find themselves in the list. 

I have had this blog for six years and do nothing with it since I’m not much of a writer and also do not feel like writing much. Moving forward, I will try to change that.  So I shall start tagging posts #placetoknit and yes, I’ll actually start posting legitimate blog posts (when I don’t feel like knitting, Haha!) in addition to filling my blog with my IG posts #knitterofinstagram.
Keep an eye out for places to come: 

Starbucks, 10720 Westview Pkwy, San Diego, CA 92126

Starbucks 10675 Scripps Poway Pkwy, San Diego, CA 92131
