Check-In Post February 25th 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!

5 meeces completed, 5 more knitted, and no mistakes this time. Yay!

[smallhobbit]

I thought you were due to have finished by now?

[badly_knitted]

Yeah, but I realised 11 more will give me 400 with the 19 original meeces, so 11 more to knit, and then sew up those and the other 15 that are waiting. Then I'll stop, I swear!

[wiseheart]

So xou say now. We'll wait for the final count.

[badly_knitted]

*grins* I've already knitted over 400, but a lot went to new homes, so the 400 will be my stock for whatever I decide to do with them.

[yarnofariadne]

Yay!!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! I'm supposed to be winding down production, it just hasn't happened yet o_O

[smallhobbit]

For anyone who hasn't yet seen, my monthly crafting summary is here

[badly_knitted]

I saw! You're so productive!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you.

I got the sock out again and did another pattern repeat and diagnosed where I was in another sock that I have lost the piece of paper I was keeping track of rounds on.

[badly_knitted]

Excellent sock progress!

Well done for finding your place on the other sock. I have two part-made sweaters that I need to figure out where I got to. One I haven't touched for over 12 years!

[obstinatecondolement]

I did have to enlist some help from my mother, not gonna lie XD

I have some pretty longstanding WIPs too...

[badly_knitted]

I don't think you can be a crafter (or a writer) without having WiPs *grins*

Good that you could get assistance from your mum. Mine used to come to me for help.

[smallhobbit]

Your socks are certainly growing.

[obstinatecondolement]

Thanks! Slowly but surely.

[wiseheart]

No crafting in the recent days. Too many other concerns at the moment. But at least three of the four cat pillows have gone to the ír new homes, which means we had visits from some adorable toddlers.

[badly_knitted]

Yay for cat pillows going to their new homes! Glad you at least had something nice happen to bring you some happiness.
