Check-In Post September 20th 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!

Yeah, it will bump up our heating bill as well. Still, it's nice to have it just that tiny bit warmer.

[darkcedars]

They do, I go to bed with a clean kitchen yet there are dirty dishes when I awake!

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.

[celli]

agreed!

[yarnofariadne]

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

[yarnofariadne]

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

[yarnofariadne]

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

[yarnofariadne]

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

[yarnofariadne]

Hope you feel better soon ♥

[yarnofariadne]

That sounds like a lovely day!

Energy prices need to be brought back down. The energy companies are making massive profits. My coal bill will likely go up by £60 a load, that's for about a month, it's a huge price jump, an extra £6 a bag. And that's on top of the rise in electricity prices. Where I'm going to find the extra money, I don't know.

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

[badly_knitted]

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

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! The cold isn't helping, but I'm battling along.

[yarnofariadne]

I am, thank you!

[badly_knitted]

Glad to hear it =)

[darkcedars]

Ugh that's so annoying.

[darkcedars]

Good to hear!

[verdande_mi]

Sounds lovely!

Not here, at least not in the mornings or evenings. The frame of the loom is around 155x142 cm

[verdande_mi]

I hope so :)

[verdande_mi]

I did it some as a child, but as an adult I have just learned through youtube videos and pininterest. There's lots of great tutorials around. Thanks!

[verdande_mi]

I think so. I might just take it out on Sunday - that is my first quiet day ahead.

[wiseheart]

I'm not complaining. :)

Unfortunately, there are always those who get rich on the misery of others. *gnashes teeth*
