Check-In Post December 2nd 2021



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: No question today.


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 assume the meeces won't have ears in different colours.

One of each colour? Just kidding. I’m sure whatever you go with it will look great.

I'm currently cross stitching initials plus holly leaves to use on bookmarks for people.

Frustration! So I had another three attempts at getting the tension right for the gloves by using smaller hooks each time by making a square but no way was I going to manage it so I’m trying a different sock pattern instead. I’m using a smaller hook than recommended and following the smallest size but think it’s going to come out more on the lower edge of the larger size.

I tried making soup earlier and that wasn’t an outstanding success either. It was supposed to make four portions but tasted not great so I added a tin of tomatoes which improved it a bit. I probably have about 8 portions left (ate one for dinner) which is more than a tin of tomatoes should have added. There I was thinking home made soup made from fresh veg would be good for me.

Some days are simply unlucky. Let's hope you'll have better luck tomorrow.

I've decorated the biscuits made yesterday... three sorts, altogether six large tins. That about took care for my creative time. But they turned out lovely, so it was time well spent.

Holly leaves sound lovely. And initials make everything personal.

I have less than ten grams to go! Am knitting a scarf in a very fine yarn, and it takes approx 1g to do six rows. The end is in sight!
