Check-In Post February 26th 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 finished, 4 more knitted.

One meece went a little... wrong. I put the ears too far forward and it looks kind of like a cross between a mouse and a bushbaby... Still cute, but weird.

[yarnofariadne]

I love the weird meece ♥

[badly_knitted]

It's certainly cute, just odd.

[smallhobbit]

The creature looks slightly weird
What could it be, well maybe
If it isn't a regular meece
Perhaps it is a bushbaby!

[badly_knitted]

Heee! Maybe it's a bush-meece!

[wiseheart]

Do Bush-meeces live in trees?

[badly_knitted]

Only very little trees ;)

[yarnofariadne]

Still plugging away on the infinity scarf. I've joined the last ball of yarn now! Ideally I'd like to have it finished by the end of next week but we'll see how it goes.

[smallhobbit]

That's great. Looking forward to seeing a pic of the finished item.

[badly_knitted]

You're doing so well! Good luck with finishing it on schedule!

[smallhobbit]

Nude kitty's cardi turned out too big, but I think it can be adapted to be a thick jacket and I'll knit a little sweater to go underneath instead. My fault for using thicker yarn, but I wanted to use the same yarn I'd used for Mini Hobbit's Christmas cardi.

[badly_knitted]

Understandable you wanted to use the yarn from the Christmas cardi. Maybe this will all work out better, Kitty will have a complete outfit including a jacket for chilly days =)

[wiseheart]

And what about booties?

[badly_knitted]

Footwear of some description might be a good idea!

[smallhobbit]

Yes, I'm hopeful. I didn't like the jacket in the pattern book, so I think this may be better.

[yarnofariadne]

Kitty will be so stylish!

[smallhobbit]

Here's hoping!

[obstinatecondolement]

I did two rows of a different sock to the one I've mostly been plugging away at recently and crocheted a large motif for my happy colours blanket.

[badly_knitted]

How many socks are you making at the moment? And how many feet do you have for all these socks? o_O

The blanket is gorgeous!

[obstinatecondolement]

Haha, just the two at the moment! One is the second of a pair and the other is the first of another pair. I haven't started my snow leopard socks yet, I am going to wait until one of my other socks is done first.

Thank you! I love it, but I haven't worked on it for years. It's good to get some forward momentum on it.

[yarnofariadne]

Ooooh I love the sound of snow leopard socks!

[obstinatecondolement]

Thank you! It's these socks knitted in light grey and black instead of yellow and brown.

[yarnofariadne]

Oh those look amazing!!

[obstinatecondolement]

I'm really looking forward to starting them!

[badly_knitted]

It's good to have a few projects to switch between. Now let's see which pair of socks gets finished first ;)

[obstinatecondolement]

By bet is on the blue socks, but who knows?

[badly_knitted]

You won't know for sure until you make that final stitch ;)

[smallhobbit]

A bit like having a fic you ought to finish, so you start something else?

That's a fun blanket.

[obstinatecondolement]

Haha, a little bit, yeah.
