Check-In Post October 24th 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!

Very happy with progress today. The last 5 mini meeces now have their brooch backs and their tails attached, while 10 others have their faces stitched. That leaves just 10 more faces to do, and then a lot of sorting out and preparing stuff for Halloween. Just a week to go!

[darkcedars]

That's great, very little left on the meeces.

[badly_knitted]

Yes, I'm relieved because I need to focus on the spook_me fic, get that finished. Almost 13k now *headdesk*

[wiseheart]

Good luck! *fingers crossed*

[badly_knitted]

Thank you!

[sister_raphael]

They really are the cutest little things ever!

[badly_knitted]

I'm hoping people will think so!

It began raining early this morning. The birds have been singing happiness.

I sat down to work on my long term WIP doily. I had been struggling with it, and it looked far too cupped. Discovered I had made a serious error back on round 6. Spent some time thinking and I'm going to restart entirely. If it goes poorly this time, I will call this one frogged.

[wiseheart]

I hope you'll get luckier at the second try.

[badly_knitted]

Ugh, I hate when things go wrong and you don't notice until you've gone on further. I hope this re-start will work out.

On the other hand, yay rain! We've had enough where I am, but I'm glad you, the birds, and the plants are getting some.

[sister_raphael]

See how you go. I guess it depends on how much the error bugs you and affects the resp of the WIP.

No crafting today. Big bi-weekly cleaning ate my strength and killed the mood.

[badly_knitted]

Sorry to hear that, but I expect your fingers will appreciate a day off from sewing.

[sister_raphael]

None here either. Knackered. We can both maybe craft tomorrow!

[sister_raphael]

Completely got not much done today apart from work, getting my taxes done and submitting paperwork for an event. No crafting or sewing and no time to read back and catch up. I'll try again tomorrow to have a chill afternoon off and catch up. :)

[badly_knitted]

So sorry life is getting in the way of you doing fun things. Here's hoping tomorrow will be a better day for you.
