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.

My baby's blanket is flying off the needles. I expected it to drag on like Little L's blanket did, but the charts on this are so easy to memorize that I got a nice rhythm down. Now I am at the tedious part of grafting the four squares together with the Kitchener stitch. This requires my full attention so I am only able to do it after the children are asleep. The pattern says to sew the squares together but I am not a fan of seams so this appears to be a good solution. After I finish grafting I plan on knitting more of a border around the blanket, too. I still have 1 1/2 skeins of yarn left so why not?

What are you working on? Happy creating!

Oh it's so lovely when your knitting gets into a real rhythm isn't it. That's such a beautiful colour and not stereotypically baby either, I can't wait to see what it's like when it's finished 馃榾

Yes! My son still loves his baby blanket I knit him so I am hoping this colorway will be something that a 4 or 5 year old would still love :)
The blanket is looking good! I love, love, love the colorway. What yarn are you using?

Thank you :) The yarn is dream in color classy in the forget me colorway. It's even prettier in person. I haven't quite been able to get it's true color captured with my camera yet.
This is going to be just gorgeous when it's finished! You're making it really hard to resist not adding this to my queue!! :)

Would I be a horrible enabler if I told you that it's such a fast knit you could totally finish it before babe is here??? :D
Oh no! You may have pushed me over the edge! Off to do a little yarn shopping... ;)
woo hoo!!! Our babies are having similar wardrobes/accessories :) Can't wait to see your color choice! <3
Kitch锚ner stitch - even when I give it my full attention I still usually end up making 脿 mistake. Fantastic colour blanket, look forward to seeing the FO.
