Check-In Post January 13th 2023



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!

Back to knitting today!

For today's stitch and stream, I watched The Bob's Burgers Movie and I started watching Hilda. On the scarf, I've finished the 2x2 ribbing section and am back to doing the garter ridge pattern, so approximately 3 inches into that section and 29 inches into the scarf in total.

I also tried to see if I could get a size #13/9mm circular needle, at least 36 inches long locally, but the only place in town that sells knitting needles only sells one size of circular needles and they are #8/5mm and only 18 inches long. So, it looks like I will be ordering them online.

Thanks!

It's for a very large, chunky blanket. The pattern recommends at least 36 inches. I think the cast on is 102 stitches, or something close to that. It's a simple blanket though. The whole thing is just a seed stitch pattern with twisted tassels you add at the end on two sides.

Yeah, I admit I'm a little concerned about the weight, but it seemed like a nice, long term project, I could keep on hand to keep up knitting practice (and to make sure I had something to work on when I need to stress knit). Also, definitely looking forward to the snuggly bit!
