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!

Just a pinch left on skein 3 of the afghan, I will finish that off in a bit. Close up photo this time, I think the stitch pattern would be good with a white or black yarn for the foundation rounds and a rainbow for the shells.

Also I'm ordering some seeds for spring planting. This year I'll focus on making a flowerbed out of the weird little strip of weeds between the sidewalk and the street. I'm ordering 2 colors of daisy (one native and will be perennial) and moss rose to get started for that. I've already planted a few lilies and a rose verbena.

That stitch is really gorgeous, and a contrast between the foundation rows, especially in black, with a rainbow of shells would produce a really striking effect.

That reminds me, I need to get some flower seeds too. Sweet peas, sunflowers, and godetia.

I'm also going to try to grow coleus under the oak trees. The squirrels are very active over there, I may fail.

If they grow it'll look glorious!
