Check-In Post April 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!

Spent a couple of hours in the garden again, clearing more brambles and ivy off the roof of the greenhouse. There's still some up there but progress has been made.

Tomorrow is supposed to be considerably cooler so I might stay in and do some crafting instead. I could do with a rest.

I've been knitting a feather-and-fan scarf in a lovely red-purple-orange yarn.... I'm good and ready to *stop* knitting a feather-and-fan scarf, but I don't want to end up with one that's just a bit too short to be what I need. How long do people think a scarf ought to be?

In preparation for the KnitALong I finished another square:

Another page for The Thing of Beauty is finished. Two more to go, and then I can bind the book.

I made a bunch of progress (at least by my standards) today!

I haven't fully completed things, but I've made some progress with making scrunchies! I don't usually finish one scrunchie then start on another. Instead, I'll sew them to the point of needing elastic put in and then I'm on to the next one. Rinse and repeat. It may seem odd how I do this, but it works somehow? Lol. It does help, though, to put the elastic in, reinforce it with glue, let the glue dry and then finish the scrunchie.

Is anyone else similar with their crafting?

Roses with centres are finished!
I'm up to pinning the panels, then sewing.
