Check-In Post December 11th 2020

[badly_knitted]

Hello to all members, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


Today's Question: I'm opening up the forum, are there any questions you'd like to ask me?


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

I've knitted 61 rows today, finishing one arm warmer and starting its mate.

[darkcedars]

How many are you on now? Pair 4? I list track.

[badly_knitted]

I have four completed pairs and I'm halfway through two other pairs. One pair is to be two-tone but I haven't had enough decent daylight to decide which of three other colours I should use for the second half so I started another mid-blue pair, longer than the first pair I did in that yarn.

[darkcedars]

light really needed for color. One of the hats I made for the kids looks red and black, but in the sunlight that black is dark blue.

[badly_knitted]

Artificial light never shows you the true colour, especially with these energy saving bulbs.

I'm done with the headbands. Got them wrapped and in the mail today. I have just updated project details on my blog post too.



I am a week behind on where I thought I would be for holiday crafting. So, some frustration. Going to try to start the doily tomorrow. Husband is home for another week. I'm chronically ill and my equilibrium is fragile. Love this boy, but he's a Minor Lord of Chaos. Yesterday he nearly fell down the basement steps because he was trying to lug up a heavy and awkward furniture thing without taking it apart. Sigh.

[darkcedars]

Can't remember if I've shown you all our Star Trek tree? He made a Crystalline Entity out of 3D printed snowflakes for the topper. Was so happy he was nearly bouncing.

And speaking of chaos, I just spent 20 minutes helping him look for his wallet.

[badly_knitted]

That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen!

[m_findlow]

Those look great!

[badly_knitted]

Those look great, I hope they will please the recipient!

Men are a cause of great stress. Mine doesn't live with me so I only have to deal with him in small doses, but still...

Good luck with the doily!
