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!

Meece production continues: 5 completed, another 5 knitted. 285 made so far!

[wiseheart]

Jesus, 285? And still no end in sight?

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*

[yarnofariadne]

Wow!!

Re: Baby Book #2 is finished!

[yarnofariadne]

Ooh lovely!

[badly_knitted]

Lots of meeces with lots of ends, but I'm still knitting until I find something I'd rather work on. This time of year is tough for me, anniversary of both mum's birthday and her passing, so the meeces are keeping my spirits up.

[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.

Re: Baby Book #2 is finished!

[badly_knitted]

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

[badly_knitted]

I'm a meece-making machine!

[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!

Re: Baby Book #2 is finished!

[froodle]

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

[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

[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.

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)

[badly_knitted]

Meeces abound!

[badly_knitted]

Somehow that makes it sound even more impressive! Or possibly insane... Hard to tell.

[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.

Re: Baba Yaga's Hut

[badly_knitted]

Heee! I love it! Chicken hut junior!

[smallhobbit]

Yes, it does look better. I'm also going to stitch some whiskers.

Re: Baba Yaga's Hut

[smallhobbit]

Most imaginative!

[badly_knitted]

It's going to be a pretty kitty!

[peaceful_sands]

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