Check-In Post February 13th 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!

Sunday nights mean Dancing on Ice on TV, usually a good time for some easy knitting, but I wasn't in the mood and only managed 10 arm warmer rows. I might get a bit more done later once the Superbowl is getting underway, but I might not. I'm tired, my head aches, and the game won't be starting until 11.30 my time. I doubt I'll last to the end. I'm not as young as I used to be.

I did manage to get 5 meeces finished though.

Well done for some progress on the arm warmers and finishing the meece. Hope you enjoyed DOI. Are you watching the figure skating in the Olympics as well?

[annofowlshire]

I hope it lifts your spirits to be told that your meeces have been much appreciated by my Enting. This weekend we made modular mouse houses with magnatiles (an example of such a couple of posts back on my journal), and this evening after dinner he took the meeces and disappeared into his playroom and they were apparently driving around his excavator with with excited chatter/narrative provided by the Enting.

10 rows is better than nothing. I stopped knitting towards the end of Call the Midwife as I was rivetted to the screen (not literally!).

[annofowlshire]

The Imbolc waistcoat continues, and it’s nice to just be doing some knitting in the round for a while…

[smallhobbit]

Is Enting continuing to approve of the progress?

[badly_knitted]

Good to hear it's still progressing well!

[peaceful_sands]

Great to hear that you are enjoying what you are doing.

[wiseheart]

Relaxing crafts are the best!

I knit some swatches in advance of an interview I have at a yarn store tomorrow, but the stars were not in alignment and I kept making mistakes, so I'm just going to hope for the best. No progress on the socks today, but I will get back to them tomorrow.

[smallhobbit]

Hope the yarn store interview goes well!

[badly_knitted]

So annoying when things won't go right. I hope the interview goes well regardless of the swatches.

The socks will wait.

[peaceful_sands]

Good luck with the interview.

[yarnofariadne]

Best of luck on the interview!

Square 16 and the last of the botanical squares is finished (Sunflower)

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Nice! Very sunny :)

[badly_knitted]

That's a really lovely design!

[yarnofariadne]

Beautiful!

[peaceful_sands]

I love the square.

[wiseheart]

Oh, this is lovely!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Still working on my miniature cafe. This is the front steps and sign.

[smallhobbit]

The sign is really sweet :D

[wiseheart]

Just dropping in to report that I fixed yesterday's accident. A long and overly detailed description can be read in my journal by very brave souls. ;)) I'll come back to comment tomorrow, but it's already beyond midnight over here and my bed is giving me evil glares. To think that a decade or so ago I never went to bed before 1am... That's getting old, people!

[badly_knitted]

It's 11.25 here, I'm tired and should probably go to bed, but... Used to be, I though nothing of staying up half the night on Superbowl night, but the game will go on until at least 3.30 am and I'll probably turn the TV off before then.

Another 9 roses in the last three days, finishing off one segment of wall hangings and onto the next. Home sick today so no sewing, just snoozing.

[peaceful_sands]

Hope you feel better soon. Well done on the progress with the roses.

[yarnofariadne]

Did a few more rows on the infinity scarf while watching The Vampire Diaries and playing D&D!

[peaceful_sands]

Well done on the infinity scarf progress.

[peaceful_sands]

I finished another side of the sweater, sewed the shoulders and sides together and then did some work on the bottom. Have the bottom on the other side and the sleeves left to do. It seems to be coming up a bit smaller than predicted although my swatch matched the size it was supposed to. Will just keep going for now and hope for the best.

[yarnofariadne]

Well done on the progress!
