Check-In Post February 5th 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!

Another 5 meeces finished, and 5 knitted. I'm a bit late because my computer deleted a bunch of files from my external hard drive and I've been trying to copy them onto it again. Grrr!

[wiseheart]

Oh dear, how annoying!

[badly_knitted]

Seriously annoying. I've already spent three days trying to replace all the files, and it'll take at least another two days. =(

[yarnofariadne]

How annoying, I hope you have better luck with it! Technology strikes again.

[badly_knitted]

Thanks. Technology can be infuriating!

[wiseheart]

The remaining three cat plushies now have faces. Tomorrow: the tails!

[badly_knitted]

Wooo! Great progress!

[yarnofariadne]

Hooray!

[jenab]

I started crocheting a shawl today.

[badly_knitted]

Woohoo! What colour will it be?

[jenab]

It's a mutli coloured yarn so it will be gold, purple, lavender, gray and cream. It's from the Bernat Pop's line.

[yarnofariadne]

That sounds gorgeous 😍

[badly_knitted]

Oh wow, that sounds absolutely gorgeous!

[m_findlow]

Oh, that sounds lovely!

[medievalrosalie]

I made a cute little leather drawstring pouch and made the lucet drawstring for it. Last night I also pinned the gold braid on the front of the kontusz. Getting things done.

[yarnofariadne]

Ooh excellent!

[wiseheart]

Drawstring pouches are lovely. Once we went to an archaeological site with a school class where they offered crafting activities for the kids, among them making leather pouches and copper wire jewellery. They enjoyed the activities very much.

[badly_knitted]

You are indeed! Will there be a pic of the drawstring pouch?

[m_findlow]

That sounds so cute! Little pouches and bags are fun to make!

[yarnofariadne]

I got the infinity scarf started! Hopefully third time's the charm.

[wiseheart]

Good luck!

[yarnofariadne]

Thank you!

[badly_knitted]

Keeping my fingers crossed for you. You can do it!

[yarnofariadne]

Thank you!
