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!

I've done the ribbing for the second sleeve, plus the first 10 pattern rows. I might get a bit more done later while waiting for the Super Bowl to start, and during commercials, you never know.

I am so so close to being done with the subsection of my embroidery project that I wanted to have finished today! So close! I can do it!

I also crocheted a bit at the hair salon, so I felt v productive. AND I fixed their TV, hahaha.

[celli]

That is fantastic!

[badly_knitted]

Multi-talented and multi-tasking!

Good luck with finishing the embroidery section, and well done for fitting crochet and TV repair in as well!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! I'm pleased.

[smallhobbit]

You are a Superb Owl fan then!

[smallhobbit]

You can definitely do it! And you've already been very productive :)

[yarnofariadne]

Hooray!

[yarnofariadne]

Best of luck! You can do it!

[badly_knitted]

*snicker* Yes, in both senses of the word. I love owls, and I love American Football. Tonight I also love Eagles ;)

[badly_knitted]

I am slowly getting there!

I've finished the Baby diary booklets... more or less. Booklet #3 still needs some decoration, which I can't do until we're certain whether Baby #3 is going to be a boy or a girl. But that's just one small element. I can now move on to making the actual page bases. About 12 or 15 of them, in 3 different sizes. That's gonna be long and tedious. But it can't be helped.

[wiseheart]

You seem to be more than back on schedule. Good job!

[wiseheart]

You've been very productive indeed! And I'm sure you'll finish the project, with that determination. :)

[badly_knitted]

Excellent!

Good luck with making the page bases!

[badly_knitted]

I am. Now if I can just avoid messing this sleeve up...

[wiseheart]

Thanks. That's a phase that requires a great deal of luck, endless patience and nerves of steel... because it's so very boring. *g*

My brain is a bit fizzled. I know I stitch and streamed (and that's why my back hates me), but I feel like I did something else and can't remember.

I added another 11 rows to the baby blanket. It's looking good, but I don't think the recipient is going to appreciate the gothy aesthetics. I'm trying to speed through in hopes I can make another in a timely manner. (While watching the Invader Zim movie and Crazy Rich Asians)

[spiralicious]

Excellent

[spiralicious]

You were very productive!

[spiralicious]

You can do it!

[badly_knitted]

The boring parts are important too though.

[badly_knitted]

I hope your brain unfizzles!

Sounds like good progress on the blanket. Hopefully you can find someone who'll appreciate the colours if the intended recipient is too traditional.

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! I got another 12 rows done during the pre-game stuff.

I've started the first seam on the silk undergown. My goodness I am so in love with the colour.
Lots of progress on the Quotes book, but lots of work to do.
