Check-In Post February 1st 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!

So...does he play a tune like an ice cream van?

Great knitting progress!

I've finished the front pages of all five Hello Kitty booklets, and I'm happy with the outcome. Considering all that finicky work I had to do with the individual details of the windows and doors and stuff, I haven't made too many mistakes. At least not too obvious ones. *g*

See for yourself:

Thanks. :) I tried to remain true to the mostly pink scheme, without it becoming TOO pink. *And* I wanted them all slightly different, while quite similar, too.

Being different enough to know which is yours is very important! They look great.

That was the idea, yes, since the recipients are sisters and cousins, respectively. I'm pleased that you like them. :)

Finished the last round on the cardigan a bit ago, and seamed up the arms. Now to seam the back (joins the two halves). On the fence about adding pockets. I might wear it a couple of times and decide.

Identified a new bird visitor today, again by sound because it was hiding in the hedge, a red breasted nuthatch. It is probably visiting due to the suet cake.

I only need to weave in the ends now. It's larger than I expected but that's fine!

You clearly know how to take care of your feathered guests. :)
Good job with the cardigan!

I will probably get more birdfeeders next year! More variety of visitors. :D

I love a good set of pockets, but of course only you can tell if they're right in this case!

"red breasted nuthatch" is just a great name for a bird.

turkey rug stitch will absolutely be the death of me. I did a chunk today, got some advice from a friend, and ripped it all out to start over. SIGH.

Hope the advice helps going forward

Gah, so annoying! Hopefully, the next attempt will be a success.

No crafting today. There was far more cleaning than was expected and I was so spacey, I was lucky to remember my own name. Hopefully, tomorrow will go better after grocery shopping.

Cleaning is evil! *eyes the calendar warily, as Monday will be cleaning day over here*

It is indeed! And yesterday was just a horrible convergence of of 4 different cleaning occasions. I wish you luck on Monday
