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

I cast on another Cascade sweater. The one I knit for Little L so many years ago didn't last to pass down to Baby F. That is okay - it gave me an excuse to use some of dear Ginny's beautiful yarn. Don't you love my stitch markers? I was stuck under a sleeping baby so I had to use whatever I had nearby.

What are you working on? Happy creating!

If you would like to link up and share your current works in progress (or finished works) please leave your link below. It can now be either to your specific blog post, Instagram #craftingon or Flickr photo.

It's as simple as that. Remember your post can be from any day of the week, it doesn't have to be today.

Are they loom bands? i have been using loom bands as stitch markers since the craze started a couple of years ago - there are so many around the place, you have to use them for something now the craze has passed! Saying that my daughters made a long skipping elastic with them in the end, so we don't have many spare now. Perhaps I need to ask for some beautiful stitch markers for Christmas as right now I am using all my rings, including my wedding ring to mark various points in my several knitting projects!! I am sure it will be beautiful :-)

no - they do look like them now that you mention it, though! They are C's hair ties :D
Yay for loom bands, I've been known to do something similar myself!!
That yarn is gorgeous - I love the color! I too use whatever I have on hand as stitch markers - anything to keep the knitting going :)
Ginny does the most beautiful yarn, doesn't she? I plan on getting some one of these days.
Thanks again for hosting this link up!

that is a super cute sweater pattern!
Beautiful photo!
Oh that ornament is so lovely! I've been saving up my pennies to buy a scroll saw and oh it makes me yearn to make things like that even more!

Thank you for putting yourself out there every week. I feel as though I get a sneak peak into what it would be like to visit with a kindred spirit each time you post, as a fellow crafter/military wife with littles at home.

Oh thank you <3 Your comment really got to my heart!

oh but I can't take credit for the ornament. It was bought years ago. :D
things like that ornament are on my list of things I'd make/do in my imaginary life where I have lots of time for things like that. :) Like spinning my own yarn, and weaving my own cloth.

sending love,
