Hello to all members, 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?

Note: I'm just jumping in for badly_knitted while she is having computer problems. Therefore the daily check-in posts might lack certain details. Please, bear with me, and happy crafting!

More purl stitching practice. I'm trying to make sure I can do it without a tutorial in front of me.

I was also supposed to go take pictures of my aunt's cat for my own use later for Halloween edits, but I missed my window today.

I struggled a lot with purling at first but I'm confident if I could get a handle on it, you can too! Best of luck :D

Thanks :D

As with most things it becomes much easier over time. I still prefer knit to purl.

[spiralicious]

Thanks :) It does seem to be getting easier, but I think it's going to be awhile before it doesn't feel awkward. At least I don't seem to be alone with this.

You'll get the hang of purling. One day you'll suddenly realise you're doing it without thinking about it.

Hope you get the cat photos soon!

Thanks!

I tried again today, but he was in hiding. He doesn't like being out in the open and the trailer he normally hangs out at is in use. I might not be able to get sight of him until it comes back.

That's a very elusive cat!

[spiralicious]

He is! We still haven't seen him and it's getting worrisome, but I am standing by my theory that he just feels too exposed without the trailer to hide under and we'll be seeing him again when it comes back.

[badly_knitted]

I'll keep my fingers crossed.

[spiralicious]

Thanks. He was sighted this morning, though not this evening, but definitely less worried.

At least you know he's around!
