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!

I finished the knitting the flower bowl today. The first round of decreases gave me some fits, and I had to fudge the stitch count a bit. I don't know where I went wrong because it should have worked out, but I tinked it TWICE and was not about to tink again. It's been through the wash, but didn't get felted as much as I wanted so it's in the dryer now.

Eastern Dragon is NOT going to get done in time for Nerdopolis' deadline, so I set about trying to find a quicker project to do. The dragon was going to be for a challenge related to Dungeons & Dragons, so first I considered a skeleton of some kind but then I decided on a bat (there are bat monsters in D&D). I had some difficulty choosing a pattern, there's a lot of cute bat patterns, but eventually decided on the filet crochet bat example from Stitch & Bitch's The Happy Hooker, as I have the book and thought it'd be fast. I have six rows done already, should have no problem finishing the rest tomorrow.

Congrats on finishing the flower bowl, though I'm sorry it was such a struggle!

Bats!! ♥

Hope the drier treatment felts the bowl up better.

Shame the dragon won't be finished in time, but it's going to be gorgeous anyway. Looking forward to seeing your crocheted bat! I love bats!
