Check-In Post February 3rd 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!

Today was a Learning Experience. Started my next scarf, messed it up horribly, unravelled it, and watched some videos to figure out what I did wrong. Started again and did much better the second time, until I tried to talk to my husband while knitting and found out my brain is not in multitask mode today. Desperately tried to fix it, but ultimately could not and unravelled the whole thing again. Considered starting a third time but I think this is just a tomorrow project. The good thing is I've had more practise now!

Sometimes the getting started is the hardest part. You'll figure it out, and hopefully it will be third time lucky! Once you get the hang of the pattern it will go much more easily.

Videos are very helpful for figuring things out.

I figure with everything still being new to me that mistakes are bound to happen. Just gotta persevere!

I feel like I've watched the same 8 seconds maybe 30 times but I'm getting there 😂

[badly_knitted]

Mastering anything new takes time. I've been knitting for 40 years and I still mess up, but perseverance is key. You'll get there. *cheers you on*

Hopefully things will go better tomorrow. Stay positive and you'll get there.

Thank you! ♥

Oh, wow, that sounds frustrating but you've got a great attitude. Tomorrow you'll be great!

[yarnofariadne]

Thank you, I sure hope so!
