Keep Calm Craft On {crafting on}

The act of creating, in one form or another, preserves my sanity amongst the chaos of life. This explains why I always have more than one project going at a time as well as why my housework tends to fall behind. I enjoy seeing what others are working on and keeping calm with, too. What are you creating? What is keeping you going? Snap a picture and share it with the rest of us by leaving your link below.

These legwarmers are flying off my needles. I finished the first one and I'm about half way through the second. Loving this little project and the way the yarn is knitting up.

I took way too many pictures of this delicious yarn that arrived at my door over the weekend. I wanted to fully capture the beauty and depth of it. It was a custom order dyed by the talented Jackie at Luna Grey Fiber Arts. I had a very particular colorway in my head and she nailed it perfectly. This yarn is destined to be made into a project for C. I admit gray is a bit out of my comfort zone, as I usually tend to knit with brighter colors for the girls, but it is really the only thing suitable for what I am envisioning. When I told Jackie what I was looking for and my fear of a lack of color, she just got it. I'm tickled pink over it all. Now I just have to hold myself back from starting C's project until after I finish up a couple of things already in progress.

How about you?! What are you working on? Happy creating!

That grey is just gorgeous! I love grey for sewing. It must be lovely for knitting as well. Mine is a end-of-summer dress: http://rowanandoak.com/rowan-oak/2012/08/because-...

Hi Nicole,
That yarn is amazing and I love the finished leg warmers.
Those legwarmers are adorable! I can't believe that the pattern is free... I just queued in on Ravelry.

Nicole,
Your legwarmers are looking beautiful and that special color yarn is beautiful.

Love, Taryn
The legwarmers are looking great and the new yarn looks wonderful!
Those leg warmers are adorable looking, love the warm colors that will mix well with most outfits. Grays are so pretty...when does right just like that fab looking yarn you got but like you they are totally not in my comfort zone either! Looking forward to seeing that finished piece. :)
I've missed reading your awesome posts while I took my computer break, glad to be back!
PS I have a bowl just like yours in the exact same pattern...love me some vintage pyrex ;)

I love grey, and have been trying to purchase more of it, rather than the rainbow of yarn I usually have which is utterly unwearable. At least my nieces get lots of gifties out of it!
Joining in, but I am three minutes past Tuesday now. My husband had to organize pictures of eggs. I set the link up above, but will have to wait until tomorrow to see what everyone else did!
So excited to find your blog, it looks beautiful! (Thank you Catholic Crunchy Momma for the link from your post).

Love all your pictures, I love the brown and I love the gray yarn and I love to be here to link up my project:) Thank you for hosting!
Gorgeous yarns! I love both colours and can't wait to see what you make of the grey one.
Lovely yarn choice for the legwarmers - not too bulky so they shouldn't be uncomfortably warm, just perfect!
Nice color!
Your yarn choices are really delightful! I drooling over both varieties you posted here!
