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.

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.

[badly_knitted]

Sounds like an enjoyable day.

[darkcedars]

Sounds good to me.

[darkcedars]

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

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]

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.

[verdande_mi]

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

[verdande_mi]

Did you buy anything in the sewing shop?

[darkcedars]

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

[badly_knitted]

Or several blankets, and a hot water bottle if it doesn't get any warmer.

[badly_knitted]

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

[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!

[darkcedars]

Now that my machines are just at the back door, it's so easy to take things out.

[wiseheart]

More than a little hectic, though.

[wiseheart]

If the end is good, all is good.

Some cross-grain ribbon in red, for the planned Christmas-themed quiet book. The vague idea is to frame some of the pages with red, others with light blue or turquoise. Whichever fits better. I even have some cross-grain ribbon with a flower pattern, but that wouldn't necessarily match the Christmas theme.

[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.

[wiseheart]

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

[wiseheart]

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

[badly_knitted]

It can be fun when the ideas are flowing =)

[badly_knitted]

Handy!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks =)

With the prices going up so much I need to hold off on lighting the fire for a few more weeks. Not fun, but I don't have much choice.

[wiseheart]

It wasn't our decision, actually. When the community consisting of two buildings and 440 families (or rather the people assigned to the day-to-day tasks of keeping the buildings in shape) asks the heating company to start, they will do so.

[badly_knitted]

Nice for you though, if it's as chilly where you are as it is here. If I could afford it my heating would be on.
