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!

Woke up this morning to rain, so I'm very glad I got so much done outside yesterday. Wet logs are slippery and difficult to pick up. The rain did stop by late afternoon, so I popped outside to look around, but everywhere was very wet, so I came back in and settled down for a bit of crafting.

I undid the cast-off on the sweater neckband and added 7 or 8 rows. Still need to cast off again and see if the neckband sits nicely. If it doesn't I might have to undo it and start again. *fingers crossed*

Good luck!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks!

[celli]

oh, glad you didn't have to get either rained on or postponed!

[badly_knitted]

If it rains, I stay in, lol! I like being dry.

Unexpectedly enough I've managed to do the rest of the Velcro work, so the match-the-colour page is basically finished - save for the seaming, but that can't be done before the corresponding page (the one it will be stitched together) is also done.

[badly_knitted]

Well done! I know all the velcro made that page difficult.

[wiseheart]

Which is why I'm looking forward to the umbrella page that will be blessedly Velcro-free. ;)

[badly_knitted]

WOOHOO! A whole page with no velcro!

[wiseheart]

A wonderful thought, isn't it?

[badly_knitted]

I'm sure your fingers will thank you.

[celli]

yay!!!!

I was in the field today but still managed to squeeze in lunch and work on my art project some - I'm working more on it now because I just realized that "the deadline is the end of June" means "the deadline is Thursday," shiiiiiit.

[badly_knitted]

Yikes! I hope you meet your deadline. The end of the month is sneaking up fast!

[celli]

fingers crossed! or glued to the needle. whichever, haha

[wiseheart]

Jesus, I'm always shocked when I realize that another month is already over again.
