Check-In Post February 16th 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!

6 meeces completed, 5 regular ones and one for me, a Gigantomeece! I made him using chunky yarn and bigger needles, but following the same pattern. He's about 1.5 times the size of other meeces.

I've also knitted another 5 meeces.

Ooh Gigantomeece!!

[badly_knitted]

I have a companion for him knitted already, just got to sew her up and finish her tomorrow. Hopefully there will be photos at some point =)

[peaceful_sands]

Sounds good. Will we get to see a pic of the Gigantomeece?

[badly_knitted]

I'm definitely hoping to post pics once they're taken. There is to be a second Gigantomeece as a companion to the first. She's knitted, so hopefully I can finish her tomorrow.

Meeceosaurus!

[wiseheart]

Haha, good one!

[badly_knitted]

Not quite THAT big *grins* Body length is about 2.5 inches.

[medievalrosalie]

Gigantor!!!

[badly_knitted]

Heehee! It does make me wonder how big a meece I could make with the right yarn... This one's body is still only 2.5 inches long.

[yarnofariadne]

A few more rows done on the infinity scarf, and on a work night no less! I've now joined the second ball of yarn (I think it'll be three total).

[peaceful_sands]

Well done!

[yarnofariadne]

Thank you!

[smallhobbit]

Your scarf is growing well.

[yarnofariadne]

Thanks!

[badly_knitted]

You're really steaming along with your infinity scarf! Well done!

[yarnofariadne]

Thank you!

[medievalrosalie]

Go scarf, go!

[yarnofariadne]

It sure is going!!

[smallhobbit]

I had a Dare to Dabble afternoon today, when we were doing fantasy film dip flowers. I plan to write a blog post tomorrow.

[badly_knitted]

Oooh, that sounds intriguing! Looking forward to learning more!

[smallhobbit]

I took photos while I was doing it, so I can explain.

[badly_knitted]

So organised! *grins*

[medievalrosalie]

ooooo that sounds interesting!

[smallhobbit]

It was fun.

[yarnofariadne]

Ooh wonderful!

[smallhobbit]

It was good fun!

[wiseheart]

I just saw the photos, the flowers are really lovely.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much.

[medievalrosalie]

I've finished the hem on the surcote, woohoo, now I can get back to the roses.

[badly_knitted]

Excellent! Good luck with the roses!

[yarnofariadne]

Yay! Best of luck with the roses!

[wiseheart]

Strength to you, sister, as the Dwarves would say!

[smallhobbit]

Great :)
