I store a wide assortment of yarn on a 9x13' peg board wall, which we wind on a Lacis Ball Winder with the yarn label tucked inside.
I use a punching machine and a 50 foot roll of punch card paper liberally for designs on the Elna.
We're preparing to purchase a hackable Brother 270 bulky electronic machine with a fully programmable needle bed.
Other essentials: digital ring counter, knitting graph paper, cheap college-ruled and graph spiral notebooks, lazy susans, bent tip tapestry needles, bobby pins, thumb tacks, t-pins, retractable tape measure, and any small, sharp scissors.
I watch stuff in the studio on my Kindle Fire, which I have few better uses for, with audio on a JBL docking speaker.
Communication
I keep track of my projects and sell patterns on the giant online database, Ravelry.

I scout yarnbombing sites with Google Street View and follow global #yarnbomb activity on Instagram.
