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: Do you have any crafting goals for this year?


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 done it! Finished the last 5 meeces (for now) with the navy blue! That brings the total up to 111, which seems fitting!

The next ones will be a sort of bluish green, combined with various other colours.

This year, once I've finished making meeces, I'm hoping to make some bouncy spiders, although that means doing hand sewing, which I dislike. I'd also like to get back to some small cross stitch designs I was working on 2 or 3 years ago, finish my red sweater, and knit at least one more sweater. Very ambitious goals, but who knows?

You should be able to do all that - you were charging through sweaters last summer - it was only Strictly which slowed you down. How many meeces are you aiming for in total?

[badly_knitted]

Yes, working around watching Strictly was a juggling act, and I've just finished watching World's Strongest Man, which was equally tricking. Now Dancing on Ice will be starting soon, so that will get in the way as well... Maybe after that finishes I can get back on track.

Originally it was 100, then I thought I'd do 131 so that with the 19 I had left over I'd have 150. Now, I'm not sure. There are so many tempting colour combinations with the oddments of wool I'm trying to use up. Maybe I'll just keep going until I get tired of making meeces.

Congratulations on getting them finished! Your Meeces no longer in pieces! Hooray!

[badly_knitted]

Well, that bunch are no longer in pieces. The next 5 however... *grins*

[wiseheart]

Ambitious, yes, but I am sure you can do it.

[badly_knitted]

Thanks. I hope so!

[m_findlow]

I think they way you've been churning through projects that is totally doable. *cheering you on*

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! Right now the meeces are in charge, but I hope to move on to something else by the end of the month. Should have plenty of meeces by then.
