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!

At the risk of sounding like a stuck record, 5 more completed meeces, 5 more knitted, but this time I haven't crocheted their ears yet.

[yarnofariadne]

Hooray for more meeces!

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!

[badly_knitted]

I'm certainly happy!

[badly_knitted]

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.

Amazing!

I half-finished the first, ecperimental cat plushie. It was a learning through experience thing. I will do some things differently with the next one, but all in all, I am content with the outcome.

A little more on the kontusz but mostly distracted with getting the Valentine's day comp up and running this morning! A lot of good guesses on the page already, so that's doing well. Looking forward to more sewing on the weekend!

[badly_knitted]

And now I have the ears crocheted, because my computer is mucking me about with backing stuff up. Got to keep myself busy while I wait.

[badly_knitted]

Well done! Looking forward to seeing the results!

[badly_knitted]

Yay for the Valentine's contest!

Also well done for sewing progress.

[peaceful_sands]

Do you have a plan for them all?

[peaceful_sands]

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

[peaceful_sands]

It's good to experiment and to learn from our experience for the next time. Well done for getting so far with the first plushie.

[peaceful_sands]

Sounds like you've had a good day.

[peaceful_sands]

10 rows on the sweater tonight. That takes me up to where I start the increases. Fingers crossed that I'll be finished on this piece by the end of the weekend.

[badly_knitted]

Well, they started out being for Halloween treats, but with so many now I'm not entirely sure what I'll do with the surplus. I should probably start making something different...

[badly_knitted]

That's great progress! *crosses fingers* Good luck!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

You are prolific (in the meeces department)!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

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

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Well done!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Nice!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Excellent! *fingers crossed*

A new collage journal page. I got new STUFF at the craft store (on sale!) so I had to try them out. The bottom left are metal embellishments (flowers) and the top right are wooden ones.

[badly_knitted]

I certainly seem to be!
