Check-In Post October 15th 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!

Getting the heating going when I did was absolutely the right thing to do, but now the weather's turned a bit milder again (not by much, I'd still be freezing without the heating) it's so warm indoors it's making me sleepy. I can't win at this time of year.


Anyway, I have successfully attached brooch backs to 10 meeces! It's a bit fiddly, but it seems to be working. I decided to attach them lengthwise, down the seam underneath.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

The meeces are pinned! Well done.

[wiseheart]

Yay for pinned meeces!

[smallhobbit]

The first ten meeces are pinned
Which leaves just 45 more
But only 40 of those can be twinned
But if one gets loss there'll be four

Sounds like you are off to a good start with the brooch back. Ah heating and feeling sleepy in a nice way - I did turn my little electric stove on in the lounge the other day for an hour and did enjoy it. I left just the flames on for a while and that's really relaxing.

Life is a bit crazy, but I did manage to finish the fingerless gloves and I have just started on a new weaving project.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Well done on finishing and starting (those are both good feelings)!

[badly_knitted]

Yay! Now you have cosy gloves for winter. Good luck with the weaving!

[smallhobbit]

That's great that you've finished the gloves.

[peaceful_sands]

Well done on finishing the gloves and good luck with the new project.

A seasonal collage with a bat theme:

[wiseheart]

Amazing!

[badly_knitted]

Very Halloween-y! I like bats =)

[verdande_mi]

This looks great. I did some journaling yesterday, and it was fun to be back at it.

[peaceful_sands]

Looks really good and as you say very appropriate for the season.

[wiseheart]

I baked 7 different things in the last two mornings. Does that count? ;)

[badly_knitted]

You know it does! Well done with the baking, I hope you and the party guests enjoyed what you baked!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

It sounds exhausting. I hope you got to enjoy the fruits of your labour.

[smallhobbit]

Most definitely!

[peaceful_sands]

Sounds awesome - I hope everything turned out yummy!

Did a little sewing on the plane from Istanbul to Manchester. A very little.

[badly_knitted]

Even a very little is still more than before!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

A stitch in time...:) every one counts!

[smallhobbit]

I finished the left sleeve of Mini Hobbit's cardi this evening:

[badly_knitted]

I love it! The seahorse is especially cute!

[sister_raphael]

Finished painting the chest and putting two coats of sealant on. Hooray!

[badly_knitted]

Hooray! It looks brilliant!
