Check-In Post January 27th 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!

I've finished Pages 4 and 5 and finally got around to take a few pictures.
Here are said pages with all flaps closed:



And the same pages with the left side open:



It is actually a triple card that opens upwards and downwards, so that one can put three photos inside. The photo mat on the right side is just a double card.

Lovely! Plenty of space for lots of baby pictures!

[wiseheart]

That is it's main purpose, yes. :)

[peaceful_sands]

I love the way you've got it all to work together - it'll be lovely in years to come to unfold each flap and have another memory be brought back.

[wiseheart]

I hope so, yes. I don't know the recipients well, but I hope they will enjoy the baby book.

5 more meeces completed, another 5 knitted.

I've been working with a particularly bright multicoloured yarn lately, in shades of orange and purple, shocking pink, turquoise, and yellow ochre, combining it with various other colours. Some of the combinations are working better than others, but they're all interesting at least.

[peaceful_sands]

I'm certain that'll be interesting to see. I can't imagine how but is that you still increasing the rate of production when you combine the newly completes and the knitted ones?

[badly_knitted]

It still works out as 5 a day, I just knit the next batch the night before, then finish them the following day.

I'm a little ahead with the knitting though - I have 10 waiting to be finished. Yesterday I had 15, but I didn't do any knitting because I was out all morning and into the afternoon. Which was the whole reason I got ahead in my knitting.

[wiseheart]

Your meeces are unstoppable. And so are you. ;)

[badly_knitted]

It keeps me occupied, and the colours are so pretty...

still workin' on the bib while I wait for baby news!

[badly_knitted]

Aw, little elephant!

[peaceful_sands]

It looks lovely. Hopefully the good news will not be too long in coming.

A bit on the tote bag. I was in a DON'T WANNA mood today (er, yesterday; I've slept some and am now up in the middle of the night) so I struggled with getting my requisite one row of the blanket done. But I finally did it after streaming, so about 10:45 pm.

[badly_knitted]

Well done for completing your blanket row even though you weren't in the mood.

Also Yay for progress on the tote.
