Check-In Post February 17th 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!

My post on Fantasy Film Dip Flowers is here for those who haven't seen it.

Thank you very much.

7 meeces completed, including a second Gigantomeece for myself. This one is purple and red, the first one was red and blue.

7 meeces knitted, including 2 for myself. They'll be my birthday meeces as I'll reach the grand old age of 60 on Saturday!

Early happy birthday!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you!

DW threw me off twice! What the blazes...? Anyway, welcome to the venerable sixties!

[badly_knitted]

At least you got here in the end!

Thank you! I don't know about venerable in my case, more like decrepit!

[wiseheart]

Oh, c'm on, haven't you heard that 60 is the new 20?

[badly_knitted]

That's only true if you happen to be in good health. =/

[peaceful_sands]

Well done on your progress and Happy Birthday for Saturday - I hope you have an awesome day.

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! It will be quiet and hopefully uneventful, I've never been a patty person, or at least not since my teens. Right now I'm enduring gales, and tomorrow it's supposed to be heavy rain, which isn't an appealing thought, but I wasn't going anywhere anyway.

Finished the gusset decreases of my sock. I left myself with a nice knit row to start up again tomorrow rather than a pattern row.

[badly_knitted]

Well done! Your sock will be finished in no time!

[obstinatecondolement]

Thanks! It certainly deserves it after all that time hibernating, haha.

[badly_knitted]

It will finally get to live its sock-life!

[peaceful_sands]

You're making great progress.

[obstinatecondolement]

Thank you!

[smallhobbit]

That's a good move, more encouraging to get started!

[obstinatecondolement]

This is my thinking! Hopefully it works, haha.
