Check-In Post January 16th 2021

Hello to all members, 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!

40 rows on the pale pink arm warmer. This yarn is finer than what I've used before so I'm thinking this will be a springtime pair. I also might need to do more rows than usual. Lovely and soft though.

I'm assuming they're for you, so at least you can measure them to see if they're long enough.

Definitely for me. I plan to wear arm warmers a lot in future. I think they're helping my arthritis.

I did some cross stitch, using black thread and the colour sheet. The first part was fine, but I realised when I checked the black and white sheet that I should have used dark blue, so had to unpick the last few stitches. (The symbols are similar and hard to tell apart on the colour sheet).

Also, attached the first of steggy's legs and am planning to knit a couple of legs for trixie (the tryceratops).

Argh! I hate when that happens, but at least you caught your mistake quickly!

Steggy can now be nicknamed Pogo.

I'm sure Trixie will be happy to know legs are forthcoming!

Aha! I finally sewed that pair of pants! ...by following a completely different set of instructions than what I paid for. Still, success! Now to sew them in something other than felt...

[badly_knitted]

WOOHOOO! Success! Now you know how to do it hopefully it won't cause you any more problems, and the dolls will have comfy pants.
