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 guoing 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, post it on your blog, on Instagram #craftingon and/or Flickr and then share it with the rest of us by leaving your link below.

Crafting On
A couple of weeks back K was looking at the Webs catalog and she spied a sweater pattern she really liked - Scarrington by Fiona Ellis. She showed it to me and went on and on about how much she liked it. I think it was because of the yarn color but either way she was smitten with it. I took the hint and ordered the pattern and yarn (same yarn shown on the sample) to knit it for her upcoming birthday. I am glad I am starting so early because it is a bottom up sweater worked flat. That will take quite a while to finish. Not to mention my little girl is now in women's sizes so it is like knitting a sweater for me. 馃槻

What are you working on? Happy creating!

Hi! Just wanted to send you the following link for natural tick repellents: https://www.emaxhealth.com/1275/fight-ticks-lyme-... We live several states down from you in the same mountain range..and have resisted having our yard professionally sprayed for several years. We use 2 sliced oranges simmered for an hour in 2 cups water with a tablespoon of whole cloves. Cool, strain through very fine filter (I use a plastic coffee filter), then put in spray bottle. Not for cats, the article says. We don't have one, so...I can't advise on that. :-) Oh, another helpful remedy that works: inexpensive deer repellent that really works (and keeps squirrels out of potted plants, too). Take a tub of water (about a gallon or however much you want to make). Immerse a bar of the original Irish Spring soap (about 99-cents) and rub it with your hands about two minutes or until water has slight greenish cast. Put in spray bottle and LIGHTLY spray plants. The plants don't like it much, but are fine with a light mist and that works to keep the deer and rabbits away.

Love the horseshoe cables exclusive to the sleeve on this pattern! Thank you for the link. Great woodsy green yarn, too. K has excellent taste.
