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 knitting to-do list is truly far too long for me to ever accomplish yet I can't help but add more projects to it. I finished up the knitting portion of Baby F's bee hat and now I just need to embroider on the bee. On a whim I decided instead to cast on a pair of socks for myself after seeing some beautiful yarn that has been sitting on a shelf far too long out of the corner of my eye. Of course after the idea got into my head, I couldn't find my size 1 sock needles. I spent far too much of my day searching for them to no avail. I have no idea where they could have gone to. They were last used to knit baby socks. It's driving me bananas because knitting with random needles of different lengths is just pure madness. But I really can't justify buying a new set of needles right now so I guess it is what it is. Back to tearing the house apart.

What are you working on? Happy creating!

Love that green! If your house is anything like mine, you will find those needles when you are almost finished with the project :) Such is life.
Elizabeth Zimmermann once knit a sock on 4 different size needles to prove to a friend that your body would automatically adjust tension and the sock would come out just fine...I always loved that anecdote!
Oh that is such a pretty colour - and if the needles are near enough the same size you'll never be able to tell when it's finished because it will even itself out :)
you should knit something for yourself and what a spectacular color!!!
Oh, I hope you find your needles! I do not like looking for things! It can be so frustrating. :)
