Check-In Post November 7th 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!

Had to put some of the Halloween lights away because I did laundry this morning and realised I'd dumped all the light packaging in the laundry basket. Had to empty it out so I could use the basket when I emptied the washing machine. So, 5 strings of lights tidied away. Still more to do.

I knitted two mini meece bodies, still three more black striped pairs I'd like to do. Also crocheted more ears, another 5 pairs I think.

Finally finished and posted the last chapter of my spook_me fic *sigh of relief*

Well done!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! I'm still feeling exhausted, but trying to keep up with the necessary stuff.

[wiseheart]

That's a lot accomplished on a single day!

[badly_knitted]

Felt like it too. *sags*

[sister_raphael]

As much as packing things up is a pain in the rear, it's good when it's done!

[badly_knitted]

Still got a lot more to do, unfortunately *sigh* Wish I had the energy to do it.

Ears and bodies abound
Black stripes are to be found
Meeces amok
Not a nest but a flock
They're certainly getting around

[badly_knitted]

Flocks of meeces, yay! Several are winging their way to various points of the globe as we speak.

We had the usual, bi-weekly cleaning frenzy today, so I only did a teensy bit of crafting: the damp coming from the locomotive's chimney and two more Christmas cards. But little progress is better than nothing, right?

[badly_knitted]

Every little bit helps!

[sister_raphael]

Progress is still progress!

[smallhobbit]

Definitely, all the little bits soon mount up.

[yarnofariadne]

It certainly is!

[sister_raphael]

More work on all of the shields over the weekend! The text on the Ex Libris Squirrel Shield is on and the gold is on the R shield. Umming and ahh ing about a few things. I still feel the shadow on the Amore Shield needs to be darker too, so that will get an upgrade and re-seal.

[smallhobbit]

It's all coming on there.

[sister_raphael]

Slowly but surely!

[yarnofariadne]

Sounds like good progress!

[sister_raphael]

Not as much as I'd like, but getting there.

[badly_knitted]

You'll soon have three shiny shields!

[sister_raphael]

I really need to finish the squirrel.

[badly_knitted]

Just keep squirreling away at it whenever you can ;)

[smallhobbit]

Finished stitching another Christmas card and also finished knitting the second sleeve for Mini Hobbit's mermaid cardi. Plus the knitted angel is finished - I'll try to post pics later in the week.

[yarnofariadne]

Excellent work! I'll look forward to pics :D

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. It's been a productive day.

[badly_knitted]

Wooo! Lots of progress on lots of things!

[smallhobbit]

Yes, I was pleased - I hadn't expected to complete so many projects on one day.
