Check-In Post February 4th 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!

12 rows on the second slipper body today!

[badly_knitted]

The front is finished! WOOOO!


Now I just need to figure out positioning of the pattern for the sleeves...

[yarnofariadne]

Hooray!!

[badly_knitted]

WOOHOO! You're steaming along there!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! I'm very happy to get this far! Sleeves next...

[wiseheart]

You are on the roll, aren't you? :)

[wiseheart]

Fantastic!

I made the base covers for another two baby books. Two of them are due at the end of April/early May, the third one in June, so I have to space myself well to get everything done without undue hectic. That, and the five Hello Kitty booklets, which I originally intended to finish by Children's Day (end of June) - I won't have time to get bored any time soon.

[yarnofariadne]

I am! My toes are so cold! I need these slippers immediately XD

[yarnofariadne]

You have quite a lot on your plate!

[darkcedars]

Haha good thing you're being speedy!

[darkcedars]

That's great!

[darkcedars]

Ha no, no time for boredom.

Was poking at the hat, decided I didn't want to do the pattern I started, ripped back and am winging it. I'll probably be happier for it.

Wandered down to John's house, he's turned all of the cedar shingles I pulled the staples & nails out of last weekend into mulch and spread it around all the places the grass is completely trampled into mud. I might go over for a bit tomorrow (it's going to be nice) and do some more shingles.

[badly_knitted]

Oooh, a very busy few months ahead of you! At least it's all papercrafts though, and no velcro work.

[badly_knitted]

Thank you!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks =)

14 days and the back and front are both complete!

[badly_knitted]

Good luck with your new hat attempt!

Seems those mulched shingles are really proving useful now. Don't overdo it tomorrow, but have a good time playing with the next load of shingles.

[wiseheart]

Always! I just can't stop at *one* thing at a time.

[wiseheart]

Nah; too many things to do, too little time to do them.

[wiseheart]

Haha, yes, paper cuts and glue under the fingernails instead of holes in the fingertips. *g*

[wiseheart]

It is annoying when you realize you don't like how a project has turned out, but ripping it back and starting anew is better for your own satisfaction. *voice of experience speaking here*

[badly_knitted]

A lot less traumatic I think.

[darkcedars]

The person who wrote the pattern didn't have a very clear style...and multiple popup videos on her other patterns. I was done with that quickly.

[darkcedars]

I think I'll note how long it takes to fill my little garden cart and then decide "okay, you can do two carts" or however long that takes me. I stayed waaaayyyy too long last time.
