Check-In Post December 21st 2021

[badly_knitted]

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!

10 of the meeces now have their ears attached! 15 to go. then tails and faces...

[medievalrosalie]

wahoo! You are doing so well!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks, I'm pleased with progress!

[wiseheart]

Yay for meeces with ears!

[badly_knitted]

Things are getting earie around here ;)

[peaceful_sands]

Watch out the meeces are listening! :)

[badly_knitted]

They've got their little ears pricked, listening for cats.

[wiseheart]

*groans* I needed a moment to understand the pun. ;)

[medievalrosalie]

Need a break from roses although I've only done a few more. Messing around with a kid's book I did years ago, and now the sun's coming up, so... sleep. Maybe another rose while watching a movie tonight.

[wiseheart]

As long as you enjoy working on stuff it doesn't really matter *what* the stuff is, IMO.

[medievalrosalie]

That's my theory!

[badly_knitted]

We all need to take breaks from big projects at times. You'll get your roses done. It might take a while, but you'll get there, with some other things in between, inclding your book.

Sleep well, and enjoy your movie tonight.

[medievalrosalie]

The Blaze book is entirely unnecessary, but I'm feeling very motivated.

[badly_knitted]

If the motivation is there that's a good reason to work on it.

[peaceful_sands]

Enjoying what you're doing is important, so taking a break is good.

[wiseheart]

I've bought some craft supplies between two food runs. Not that I'd actually need them... I just felt like spoiling myself a bit. *ducks*

[badly_knitted]

After everything you've been doing recently, you deserve to spoil yourself!

[peaceful_sands]

You do need them - just not yet :) Something to look forward to using.

[wiseheart]

I know. Unfortunately, the craft cupboard isn't made of rubber; neither is it a TARDIS in disguise. I continually fight storage space shortage.

[medievalrosalie]

One can never have too many supplies. Running out of things is the worst.

[althea_valara]

As promised, here are pics!





Today I am working on my Peppermint Throw, and hope to get about 5 motifs done, if not more.

[badly_knitted]

I love the colours on your cowl, and the snowmen are so cute!

[peaceful_sands]

The snowmen are really cute and the cowl looks lovely and warm.

[wiseheart]

The snowmen are to die for indeed!

[medievalrosalie]

Oh these are so good!!

[alafaye]

I am on vacation \o/ Which just means I'm not at work for a week lol. Anyway I plan to do some crafting this week and I've started out by adding a few rows to my new crochet project. I have found out that I added stitches (which I suppose is better than dropping them) though I don't honestly know how I did that...

[badly_knitted]

Yay for vacation and time for crafting!

Your scarf will be uniquely shaped, like the last one. There won't be another like it anywhere. Embrace its uniqueness!

[wiseheart]

Word!

[alafaye]

Yes, very!

And that is true. At least I'll always know its mine lol.

[badly_knitted]

It will be as unique as its owner. *nods*

[peaceful_sands]

Enjoy your time off :)

[alafaye]

Thanks!

[medievalrosalie]

Week off work! Wa hoooo!!!

[alafaye]

Verily \o/

[peaceful_sands]

1 more mini stocking made.

[badly_knitted]

You're really quick with the mini stockings!

[wiseheart]

Cute project time at your house, right? *g*

[medievalrosalie]

One less to do!
