Check-In Post February 24th 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!

I have attached the plum sweater's sleeves! All I have left to do now is sew up the side and sleeve seams =D

Today I started my craft project early, in the naive hope that I can finish that particular page for all three baby books. Well... I have (mostly) finished one of them. Not exactly stellar results, but there are so many little details that needed to be done that time simply flown away from me. As I mentioned before, I don't have access to all those shiny, ready-made tags, pics and other embellishments YouTube professionals simply take out of a package.

At least I've made a lot of small embellishments in advance, so that hopefully will speed up the process in the immediate future. Hope dies last, right?

I didn't get back to the mittens today, but I did repack most of the craft tool box. Had a brainwave to use an extra weekly pill organizer (one cell broke) for my small collection of buttons.

I may need to buy a bulk container of suet. They have torn through the second block, because bigger birds have discovered it now. Have seen red bellied woodpecker, northern flicker, robin and starlings eating from it.

I have started yet another felted bag, following my usual recipe for them. They are mindless (all knit stitch) and I definitely need something like that right now. I don't feel up to explaining why here, but let's just say that life threw one heck of a curve ball at me this week.

Because I was working on the bag away from home, I now have a row counter app installed on my phone. I haven't played with it too much yet but it looks quite promising - it appears to have vocal commands if you want to use them!

I am having trouble with my Pluto project AND I think I'm missing a stitch at the end of each row in my crochet project, which is [mumblety] rows in. I've had better crafting days, sigh.
