Check-In Post January 21st 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: 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!

Bunny finished!



Its name is "Flopsy". The garter stitch is not conducive to firm stuffing, so it's a very soft toy. It's cute, but... Eh. Just, eh. I think I like the other bunny better, despite how much more work it is.

In other news, the gift bag I was using to tote around niece's blanket is starting to come apart, which of course led to me searching for tote bag patterns yesterday, haha. I might still make one, but part of me thinks the idea is insanity.

I have plans to make another snow globe ornament as a test, but I've been distracted today by a commenting challenge I posted in my journal, oops.

Flopsy bunny is cute, and squishy is often best for small toys. Better for little hands to grip.

I bet you'll make a tote eventually. Once the idea is there, it can become impossible to ignore.

I know quite a few people doing the Snowflake Challenge. I just never get around to it, always too busy with other things.

Yup, already cast on for the tote and knit a few rows!

[badly_knitted]

Heehee! I knew you would, but it'll be a very useful thing to have for carrying your projects around in.

[darkcedars]

Haha cute!

A cute bunny, but perhaps it lacks character.

[medievalrosalie]

Naw, Flopsy is pretty cute!!

[wiseheart]

I find Flopsy adorable!
