Check-In Post March 1st 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!

No knitting yet, but I've got everything ready for when I start, which I'll be doing shortly.

What will you watch on the telly while knitting? *g*

NCIS New Orleans =D Every week night at the moment. Already seen this season, but that's okay.

I knitted another 18 rows, completing the first pattern repeat, but ever time I get to a certain point on the small lace diamonds I end up with an extra stitch on one of them and have to unpick. *sigh* I need to learn to double check each one as I do it.

I've successfully made French brioches, for the first time in 30+ years! Other than that, I've finished the identical pages for Baby Books #2 and #3 and even managed to do some writing today. So, all in all it was a fantastic day for me!

[badly_knitted]

Excellent, on all counts!

[wiseheart]

It is, isn't it? Brioche piccie in my latest LJ entry.

February crafting update in my journal, here: https://xnera.dreamwidth.org/1131246.html

No crafting today, but I plan on working on the tote bag some more tomorrow.

[badly_knitted]

That's a great selection of projects, and I especially love Kaylee's Strawberry (big Firefly fan).

Good luck with the tote bag!
