Check-In Post March 5th 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!

Changed my mind and decided to knit the sleeves first, so I did the ribbing for the first sleeve while watching the Dancing on Ice semi-final. Even did the increase row =)

A sample of my Tunisian crochet knit stitch - you build on the long hook and work them off.



It is a beautiful day and I spent some time outside. Worked a little harder than I should have so am taking it easy with an open window and my project.

I did some crafting, despite having a stressful day. Not because I'd actually feel like it - I would have preferred a lengthy nap - but because the deadline is coming closer ominously and I still have a lot of work to do on those three baby books. At least now all page bases are finished. Next up: the binding (shudders) and embellishments. Many, many embellishments and very little time to make them.

I’ve started to sew together the squares of the blanket I’m knitting! Only two squares left to knit, but I wasn’t feeling it over the weekend so I’ve been stitching instead and now the blanket is in two large pieces!

Backings, backings, backings.

Might do another binding today. Hopefully the binding tape is long enough!

Also going to donate one of my quilts for a raffle on Saturday night.

I did a photo collage on my own journal this morning, so easy enough to drop it here--I'm almost done with the body of the jumper (then on to the sleeves!), I finished one bobbin for the spinning (the other bobbin is about 2/3 complete, then on to plying!), and also some bonus gardening :)
