Check-In Post January 8th 2023

[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!

2023 hasn't got off to the best start for me, I'm still not well and had to see a doctor today. I now have antibiotics for a possible mild infection, just hope they knock this stupid fever on the head for good. I didn't get
much sleep last night because of it, and unsurprisingly I've had no energy today.


Once more no crafting, so I'm just going to sit and read, if my headache will let me, until it's time for my next dose, then go to bed.

I hope you'll get better, soon! *hugs*

No crafting today. I had kitchen duty, and it took longer than expected. After that I was just tired.

[badly_knitted]

I know that feeling. Tired is no fun.

[badly_knitted]

Thank you *hugs back* So do I.

[wiseheart]

No, it is not. :(

Working on a small cross stitch project that was a gift. Slow going because it's a plastic rather than cloth, but it's coming!

[badly_knitted]

I haven't tried stitching on plastic canvas yet, I'll be interested to hear how you get on!

[darkcedars]

Oh no, sorry, hugs!

[darkcedars]

Good luck, and if it's slow at least it is small!

[alafaye]

Thanks and true!

[darkcedars]

Mostly just did a bunch of chores, and then I was cold and achy so I played videogames in bed for a bit. The dog approved. :D

Going to work on the cardi for a little while now.

[alafaye]

I've had a few small projects using plastic. It's harder in my opinion because plastic has no give to it, but on the other hand it is less likely to fray and it's easier to slip the needle through the holes.

[wiseheart]

The dog seems to have its priorities set up right. :)

[smallhobbit]

I hope you feel better soon - be gentle with yourself.

Just been knitting the back of a top for Mini Hobbit. Will try to get some pictures up of a completed cross stitch in a day or two.

[badly_knitted]

Thanks, I continue to battle on with great determination, but soooo tired!

[badly_knitted]

Oh to be in bed... I envy you, that sounds very relaxing! Enjoy your crochet!

[badly_knitted]

Sounds like it has good points and bad points, like so many things.

[badly_knitted]

Thanks, I'm trying, but I still have the coal delivery to contend with tomorrow *sigh*

[badly_knitted]

I look forward to seeing them!

[darkcedars]

Easy to get that way in the winter. Ugh.

[darkcedars]

Looking forward to it

[darkcedars]

She really does.

[darkcedars]

Once I finally warmed up I was comfortable! Don't know how I got so cold today.
