Check-In Post December 29th 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!

I've half-done the first girlie bag today. *is proud*

[badly_knitted]

Well done! That's very fast progress.

[wiseheart]

It is a fairly easy design, fortunately.

[badly_knitted]

It wouldn't be for me. Sewing isn't something I enjoy...

[wiseheart]

I think even you would find this one easy, assuming you made the things of felt as I do. Felt is very forgiving, as someone once put it.

[badly_knitted]

I could do it, I just wouldn't enjoy doing it. Sewing is something I just avoid as much as possible. I have to sew some things, but most of the time it's not something I'd do by choice.

Woo!

[peaceful_sands]

Well done!

[badly_knitted]

Argh! Some days meece-work is really hard! Another 5 are completed though, only 5 more needed to reach 100.

This lot were red with... Light pink, light purple, bright yellow, nave blue, and navy with light pink. The navy is very dark, so the last two were hard to sew up, and to make things worse, the next 15 planned out are all navy with various other colours, so I'm going to have a tough time for the next few days. Might have to break out my LED light.

[wiseheart]

Your poor eyes!

[badly_knitted]

I have to take my glasses off for sewing up anyway, but the dark colours beneath artificial light are a nightmare to work with. They look good in combination with lighter colours though, so I still want to use them.

[alafaye]

Woohoo

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! I'm pleased with progress.

[peaceful_sands]

Racing meeces! Super speedy creation! Sympathies for the coming creations in navy and its combinations.

[badly_knitted]

They are definitely being super-speedy right now, they have racing stripes, but the darker colours might slow me down for a while. I'll have to try using my lamp and hope it helps me to see what I'm doing.

[alafaye]

Added several rows on my scarf \o/

[badly_knitted]

Yay! *\0/* Cheers you on!

[alafaye]

Thanks!

[peaceful_sands]

Well done!

[alafaye]

Thanks!

[wiseheart]

Go you!

[alafaye]

Thanks!
