Check-In Post March 16th 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!

18 rows on sleeve number 2, completing the first pattern repeat! Only another 78 rows to go *headdesk*

I did a good bit of crafting: have made and applied the square windows for the living rooms in all Hello Kitty booklets, plus made some embellishments for the already finished baby books. All three of them.

Well done, that sounds like excellent progress!

[darkcedars]

That is a good amount! Yay!

I don't think it matters, I do that sometimes.

Just be careful not to over-extend your arms!

BTW, I think I might have posted my progress report to the wrong place. Is that a problem?

[badly_knitted]

They're feeling much better today so the knitting was fine.

No problem at all! Don't worry about it =)

[darkcedars]

Hope you're less sore today!

[badly_knitted]

Much better, thanks. My back hurts a bit, but that's me trying to correct bad posture.

First crocus bloomed today! It is white. Also it is going to snow tonight. UGH. I need to get out and sprinkle ice melt, but it's been raining so much I'm not sure if it will help.

I am working a bit on a small baby blanket. Just a pattern I've made before, in 3 colors of blue, with yarn I already had. For a neighbor. Tomorrow I might start on the giant tulip. I have been thinking about it off and on.

[badly_knitted]

Yay for the crocus, boo for the snow. =(

Always good when you can use up yarn you already have on a project!

Inspiration for the tulip seems to be blooming!

[darkcedars]

It's just started snowing (6:20pm). And the wind is fierce.

[badly_knitted]

Yuk. Stay warm.
