Check-In Post December 14th 2021

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!

Wasn't in the mood for stitching meeces faces, so I've knitted the next 5 bodies and crocheted their ears.

The tails were already cut, but I've sorted out the colour combination for the NEXT 5, and cut the yarn for the tails. That will be the 5th set of 5, at which point I'll start the sewing up and stuffing.

You're making relentless progress.

I can't say I feel like doing much today!

[badly_knitted]

I've been feeling crappy all day. I've struggled with everything except knitting meeces. Maybe they're comfort meeces.

Sorry you've not felt great today but hopefully the meece progress helped.

[badly_knitted]

Thanks. Knitting meeces is quite relaxing, I must admit. Only takes about 10 minutes to knit one.

I crocheted another two little stockings and sewed up all three and stuffed with sweets - all I need now is to take a picture and then wrap up as gifts - I used the same pattern for all three, but different yarn - amazing the difference it made to each one. Just debating how many more to make... I have to say they are quite good for using up leftovers. I've done each one in two colours - which also means where multiple members of the same family are getting one they'll be 'identifiable' (no excuses for eating someone else's sweets! lol)

Well done! They sound like a lovely idea! I hope you'll be able to post photos, I'd love to see them.

Using different colours makes a huge difference, I've found that with my striped meeces, no two the same.

We definitely need those photos!
