Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, 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 started the buttonholeband, but had to redo the first few rows as I realised the buttonhole wasn't big enough for the buttons, but at least I hadn't wasted much time.

And the first sheep now has one leg - the rest will have to wait until tomorrow.

It'q a good thing that you caught the mistake in time. A one-legged sheep sounds... interesting. *g*

[smallhobbit]

It was one of those things where I wouldn't know until I tried it, so I had intended checking.

The sheep is currently called Hopalong!

[wiseheart]

A fitting name indeed! ;)

[badly_knitted]

That can be a real nuisance. You want the holes big enough to get the button through easily, but not so big that the buttons keep popping out.

Oh dear, hopalong the sheep... I hope it'll get the rest of its legs soon!

[smallhobbit]

The button wouldn't go through at all the first time, so I think this time it will be fine.

I should be able to finish the legs tomorrow. I decided I'd done enough today.

[badly_knitted]

That's good. I hate making buttonholes. They're just so annoyingly fiddly to do.

Hopalong will have to spend the night legless ;)

Shame you had to start over but looks like things are going more smoothly this time. A hop along sheep - curious!

[smallhobbit]

It was always going to be a possibility, so I was pleased I checked. Yes, I knew I couldn't do all the other legs so decided to stop. I'd had to experiment to find a leg which would work.
