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!

One of my work colleagues decided to start their maternity leave a week early, so I didn't have time to crochet the baby cardigan I had planned. I only had a day, so I made a little baby hat with little ears from some super soft baby yarn I had left over from a previous baby cardigan

Didn't use a pattern, just worked increases in the round until I got the diameter I wanted (about 5 inches) and then added rows until I reached a good length/height, and finished with a row of slip stitches. For the ears I also did increase rows, but turning at the end instead of joining. And then I just sewed them either side of the hat once they were done.



Baby was born on Thursday morning and the pictures are very cute.

[kneesntoess]

thank you!! I was so pleased with how the ears came out

[badly_knitted]

Awww, that's adorable! And kudos for getting it done so quickly!

[kneesntoess]

Thank you! I worked on it for about four hours all together, I think - one of those during my commute to work, and the schoolkids on the bus were very interested

[badly_knitted]

Maybe you'll have inspired some of them to give crochet a try!

[kneesntoess]

I hope so! Their parents kept apologising but I was just so happy to chat to them about what I was doing

I think I've inspired a couple of my work colleagues to give it a go, though!

[badly_knitted]
