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 or two and share it with the rest of us by leaving your link below.
KCCO - for me!!

I am now officially in my knitting "off-season". The spring and summer tend to be my sewing seasons but I still like to have a knitting project to keep my idle hands busy. I suppose I could take this time to get ahead of the game and start on K's birthday sweater or Christmas gifts, but I am just not finding any fun in that. Instead I am knitting something for myself. This yarn will eventually become a greenfield cardigan from New England Knits. The pattern calls for DK yarn and size 6 needles. That is a bit daunting for me because it feels like it will take me forever to finish it. To hopefully save myself from having to rip out a sweater that doesn't fit, I am actually taking the time to knit a gauge swatch. There's a first time for everything, right?!

p.s - The yarn is some lovely Luna Grey Fiber Arts.

If you would like to link up and share your current works in progress (or finished works) please leave your link below. It can now be either to your specific blog post or Flickr photo.

It's as simple as that. Remember your post can be from any day of the week, it doesn't have to be today.

Now please share and inspire us all!

I love the green yarn, the pattern looks lovely too hope it doesn't take too long! Love the idea of spending the spring and summer sewing I have started the spring with lots of sewing so far!
The color is so lovely! It will look so good on you, Nicole! I've never knit a gauge swatch. (bad me!) I feel the same way about knitting right now. I'm much more interested in the new lines of fabric coming out. Yum!
The yarn and pattern are gorgeous--but I, too, would be daunted by endless rows of garter stitch! Of course, you knit way faster than I do, too!
Beautiful colour, the cardigan is so pretty! I never check my gauge, after having to frog half of a cardi last week I am now starting to believe there might be a reason for it ;)
Love that yarn, looks wonderful.
Thanks for hosting.

Love the green! I knew I was seriously addicted to knitting the first time I knit the Summer through!
