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.

Happy Martinmas! I found a loophole in our schedule and fit in some knitting time! Thanks to Kevin who does the driving to and from K's horse classes, I get three hours (round trip total) of knitting time in the passenger seat. Perfect for working on some Christmas knitting. I had enough yarn left over from K's Christmas rainbow dress to knit one for C, too. I am reversing the colors on hers though to change it up a bit.
What are you working on?! Happy creating!

Hi Nicole! I am so glad to be linking up again (finally) with you. It's been way too long. Since having my daughter I haven't really been keeping up with reading my favorite blogs, so I am excited to go back and read yours to find out how you're liking your new home. Horse back riding lessons sound like so much fun, and I can't wait to see what you create for your babies for their Christmas presents. :)

I was in the boat! I have a newborn daughter and don't get to craft nearly as much.

Yes! Passenger car knitting. Some of the most productive crafting time.

How lovely. I feel intimidated by anything more than knitting a scarf. What would you recommend as a 1 step harder project to do after learning to make scarves?

I actually didn't attempt scarves until after I had been knitting awhile so I would consider you a few steps above where I was when I started out :) Scarves scared me for some reason :p If you could use some knitted animals and/or toys (or know someone who could) I love the patterns from the book I posted here: http://frontierdreams.blogspot.com/2011/05/knitti... They teach some increasing and decreasing and some other techniques that are a good transition, imo. Hope that helps!

How lovely they get the same dresses! My girls LOVE to wear the same things.

I always read your blog but I don't comment a lot.. sometimes I don't know what to comment or there are so many lovery things said already... but I'm really wondering when you'll be back with your weekly Rhythm posts? I loved them there we a real inspiration to me and my family.

Have a nice week :)

It's so nice to hear from you Priscilla! You know what? I forgot about those posts! I'll have to look back over them and see what else I can post about. Were there any rhythm questions you had or were curious about?
