Check-In Post September 20th 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!

No crafts today. But I got to the sewing shop and to choir practice, so the day wasn't entirely wasted.

[badly_knitted]

Sounds like an enjoyable day.

[darkcedars]

Sounds good to me.

[verdande_mi]

Did you buy anything in the sewing shop?

[yarnofariadne]

That sounds like a lovely day!

[badly_knitted]

COLD! *shivers* It was supposed to be warmer today, but it didn't feel warmer. My house is very good at keeping the cold in. Not feeling great today anyway, so I stayed in, got lots of writing done, and I just sorted out another Master List on dreamwidth, one of the messiest ones. Not completely finished with it yet, but I'm getting there. Did two of the smaller ones last night.

[darkcedars]

Writing and sorting is a good job for cold days. Where you can have a blanket.

[verdande_mi]

Yay for writing :D I should focus on that myself.

[wiseheart]

I hope you'll get better, soon. Heating got started in our building; it's minimal, but the rooms feel marginally warmer now, thank goodness.

[yarnofariadne]

Hope you feel better soon ♥

I haven't been creative lately, but I have bought a new bigger weaving loom which I look forward to using. I haven't gotten around to make the mittens I want to make yet either, but I will get to it soon.

[darkcedars]

It's too hot here to think of mittens yet. :D How big is the new loom?

[badly_knitted]

Oooh, weaving and mitten making! You'll have a fun autumn!

[wiseheart]

Weaving is something I'd have liked to learn but never got the chance. I wish you much enjoyment with the new loom.

[yarnofariadne]

The new loom sounds like it'll be fun to play with!

[darkcedars]

Very hot here with a nasty little hot breeze. At least it is also laundry day and the clothesline is at maximum efficiency!

I have been working on the doily and I have a round and a half left to complete. The last rounds are very plain, and it's not big, so I may finish that tonight. Will see. I've just realized I have forgotten a kitchen chore.

[badly_knitted]

Ah, laundry drying on the line! I wish it was hot enough for that here, I love the smell of laundry just off the line.

Good luck with finishing the doily!

[wiseheart]

The problem with chores is that they never end. In fact, I strongly suspect that they secretly spawn while we are sleeping.

[yarnofariadne]

I'm glad for perfect laundry weather, at least! Good luck finishing the doily, it sounds like it won't be long.

I did get a little bit of work in on the Schitt's Creek piece that's all the black outline to be filled in, mostly because I seem to have misplaced the thread for the kpop piece. AUGH. Moving.

[yarnofariadne]

I hope you find the thread soon! Moving is such a nightmare.

[badly_knitted]

So annoying when you can't find what you need. Still, at least you've made progress on your other stitching.

[darkcedars]

Ugh that's so annoying.

[yarnofariadne]

I had a rough few days health-wise but got back to working on the scarf last night!

[badly_knitted]

Hope you're better now, good work on the scarf!
