Check-In Post February 2nd 2022

[badly_knitted]

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!

[wiseheart]

Jesus, 285? And still no end in sight?

[yarnofariadne]

Wow!!

[froodle]

So much meece!

[smallhobbit]

The number of knitted meeces
Shows a knitter who's very keen
For today's total is an amazing
Nineteen times fifteen

[peaceful_sands]

Wow, that's an outstanding number to have made!

Baby Book #2 is finished!

[wiseheart]

Behold the front cover:



And the last two pages, first closed, then open:





I think I'll sew some cat plushies next, just to recover from all that paper work. *g*

Re: Baby Book #2 is finished!

[yarnofariadne]

Ooh lovely!

Re: Baby Book #2 is finished!

[badly_knitted]

The cover is gorgeous and the inside pages are lovely too.

Re: Baby Book #2 is finished!

[froodle]

That is absolutely beautiful! And also, YES to cat plushies!

Re: Baby Book #2 is finished!

[peaceful_sands]

I do love what you've done with the baby book. Have fun with the cat plushies.

[yarnofariadne]

My first finished project!



Didn't manage to get started on the next one today but I'm going to put that on tomorrow's list.

[badly_knitted]

That is gorgeous, it looks very cosy!

Good luck with your second scarf!

[smallhobbit]

What a lovely vibrant colour. It should keep you wonderfully warm!

[froodle]

Oh my gosh I love the colour!

[peaceful_sands]

That is a lovely scarf - looks very snuggly.

[wiseheart]

It is pretty, and it appears to be very soft. Good job!

[smallhobbit]

Did a bit more knitting of the cat, the main head is completed and one ear, but I didn't like the nose, so I've decided to do my own thing instead.

[badly_knitted]

Yay for kitty progress!

I was like that with the meece ears, so I figured out something better. I'm sure your cat nose will improve on the pattern.

[peaceful_sands]

Sounds like you're making steady progress - good move to go your own way with the nose.

[yarnofariadne]

Yay kitty!

[wiseheart]

Yay for the knitted cat! I'm sure it will look more cat-like than my flannel ones, but this time I went for "abstract". *g*

[froodle]

I'm so excited to see the kitty nose!

Baba Yaga's Hut

[froodle]

I made a little plush version of Baba Yaga's chicken-legged hut

https://catschimericalcreations.dreamwidth.org/64191.html

It's a bit rounder and not as squared off as I'd intended, but as it kinda looks like an egg I guess it's a baby version!

(also, just to entertain myself, I made it completely out of leftover parts of bird beanies)

Re: Baba Yaga's Hut

[badly_knitted]

Heee! I love it! Chicken hut junior!

[peaceful_sands]

Spent some time writing mini fills for a promptathon.

[yarnofariadne]

Hooray!
