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!

Having a very frustrating time today. For some reason, my posting page here won't let me select the Rich Text Editor, so I'm having to code everything by hand, which added an extra 40 minutes to the time it took me to post today's three drabbles and update three master lists. I succeeded, thanks to my recent forays into learning coding, but it was a nightmare.

Trying to get used to the routine of cleaning out the fire twice a day, but I'll find my routine eventually. I did manage to sew ears on 10 mini meeces though. That leaves 30 still earless.

Your meeces remind me of a German movie - its title was Earless Rabbits. *g*
Sorry to hear about all the frustrating things, though. *hugs*

[badly_knitted]

What a great title!

Thanks. I have no idea why it did that, and if it's still that way tomorrow I'll contact the dreamwidth team and try to find out what the problem is, because if I have to code all my dreamwidth posts it's really going to be a nuisance. I post two or three fics a day, plus the various challenge posts to my communities.

That is intensely frustrating! *shakes Dreamwidth until the correct code falls out*

[badly_knitted]

If only it were that easy... If it's still being a problem tomorrow I'll have to report it to the dreamwidth team. I make several posts a day, and if I have to code each one I'll never get anywhere.

The frustration of technology! Sympathies. Well done on the meece progress.

[badly_knitted]

Thanks, it's very irritating =(

The mini meeces are coming along well.

I hope the Rich Text Editor returns from hiding!

I checked this morning and it looks like it has. It was still there, but I couldn't access it, clicking on the tab did nothing. Posting was extremely frustrating, but at least I have the necessary coding all in one place now so if it happens again I can still post, even if it's infuriatingly fiddly.

No crafting today. Had a very, very busy day. But there's always tomorrow, right?

[badly_knitted]

Tomorrow is filled with possibilities!

[peaceful_sands]

I hope today was busy in a good way. The crafting will be waiting for you.

[yarnofariadne]

Hope it was a good busy day!

[peaceful_sands]

Nothing done in the last couple of days - biggest achievement today was going for a PCR test (just to rule out Covid - and yup it's not that, so sticking with the 'it's the flu') and cancelling a couple of appointments due to being ill - more to cancel tomorrow *sigh*

[badly_knitted]

Sucks that you caught flu, hope you feel better soon *hugs*

[celli]

Oh, I'm sorry you're not feeling well, ugh.

[yarnofariadne]

I'm so sorry you're ill and I hope you feel better soon ♥

Knitted a few rows on the scarf last night; getting toward the end of the second skein!

[badly_knitted]

Woohoo! *cheers you on*
