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.

Still working on Baby F's Baa-ble cardi. I am not too happy with my stitch tension at the moment. I think I purl looser than I knit but I am hoping that things will resolve themselves when I block it.

What are you working on? Happy creating!

Where do you get your project bags or where would you recommend looking? I like the simple linen drawstring ones you seem to use. I think your sweater looks lovely and as always, love your style and color choices!

That sweater is looking beautiful; I can't see any problem with your tension from the photograph. Do you sew your own stash bags? What type of fabric do you use and where do you purchase it, if you do sew them yourself?

I presently have several projects going at the same time. The one that is going fastest is my First Year Harry Potter Scarf. I am making it double-thickness by knitting in the round. The pattern came from the book "Charmed Knits - Projects for fans of Harry Potter" by Alison Hansel. ISBN - 13: 978-0470-06731-4.

I am using acrylic yarn from Red Heart in Cherry Red and Gold; the Gryffindor colors. It actually calls for Burgandy but I preferred the Cherry Red instead.

My other projects are a kitchen towel knit with Peaches & Creme cotton yarn using the Linen stitch and a Winter scarf knit with fibranatura Inca bulky in Light Turquoise using the Fisherman's Rib stitch.

I do not have a blog or website so, you will have to tell me how to provide you with a photo of my progress.

I don't currently sew my own stash bags although I would like to find the time to do so in the future! The ones I have been using are these: https://www.yarn.com/products/blue-sky-fibers-pre...

Do you use Instagram? You could share a photo that way. too.
