Check-In Post March 6th 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'm sure you will! The disadvantage of paper crafting is that you can't watch TV at the same time. I'll be happy to go back to sewing once these baby books are out of my hair.

Hope things went well and that there was something good on TV to amuse.

No crafts for me today. We had our bi-weekly cleaning frenzy, which Mum extended by a few additional tasks due to the approaching Spring, so I was completely raided afterwards. What little time I had left I spent writing.

Writing is a priority during picowrimo sessions.

Sometimes you just have to be stubborn.

Some work on the bag today. The first skein of yarn is starting to feel skimpy, so with luck I can finish off the skein tomorrow. I bought three skeins for the bag, but don't think it will take all three. Maybe just over two? We'll see.

I've been doing a lot of comfort purchasing lately, due to life craziness, and that includes a purchase I made tonight: I bought this pattern off Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/of-sails-and-waves

and also bought a scrumptious yarn from Colourmart for it. It's my first Colourmart purchase but I've heard really good things about them. The yarn is a Cashmere / Silk / Merino mix. I've never used Cashmere before but am looking forward to trying it.

The pattern looks lovely. Hope the rest of the bag goes well and that you're able to get to using your new yarn soon - it sounds gorgeous.

It's turquoise colored! Since the pattern does look like waves, I wanted something blue-ish.

Colourmart shipped it while I was sleeping! We'll see how fast it gets to me.

Crocheted while my car was getting its oil changed and only had to frog like 1/4 of a row! And it looks much less of a pyramid so far??????

Trying to get a bit of switch off time from everything else so I've started on a book of Mandalas to colour. Did a couple of Sunday and part of one yesterday.
