Check-In Post January 17th 2022

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: Anyone who has requested meeces, I am going to need an address to send them to, so if you could drop me a PM, or request my email address if you'd rather let me know via email. Most orders are now completed. I'll let each of you know once your meeces are on their way, hopefully before the end of the month.


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!

More meeces completed, 2 for special orders and 4 made with the multi-coloured yarn.

As mentioned above, if you're requested meeces, please supply an address for me to send them to.

If you'd like a meece or two, they're still available for adoption, just ;let me know.

You've done a brilliant job on the meeces and progress just isn't slowing is it?

[badly_knitted]

Thanks!

Not so far! So many fabulous colours - I'm into orange right now, combined with various shades of yellow, green, and blue. Then I've got some other multicoloured yarns I want to experiment with.

So I’ve been a bit absent in the last week or two. Working too many hours, not much crafting (only jigsaws) and falling asleep mid reading of DW reading page before I can even comment reliably or sensibly!

I have completed two jigsaws. The first was a Thomas Kinkade design that I was given this year and the second a group of photos of Canada that I was given last year:





Photos aren’t great - too much glare off the glossy pieces unfortunately but these were the best I could get. I’m going to take a break from the jigsaws and hopefully get back to my crochet - leaning over to fit the pieces is not helping my back at the moment.

[badly_knitted]

Wow, they both look great!

I know what you mean about leaning over jigsaw puzzles. Really puts a strain on the back. I'm sure sitting down to crochet will be much more relaxing.

The multiple pictures one looks extra fun to put together.

Simple Question

What is a Meecee?

Re: Simple Question

Meeces are the knitted mice I've been making. Someone here started calling them meeces, I don't remember who, and now the name has stuck.
