Check-In Post March 18th 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 am off for a WEEK between jobs, the luxury, and will be stitching up a storm! Yesterday I worked on both embroidery and crochet, and today I've been embroidering during phone calls. I'm close to halfway done with Pluto on my solar system project and then it's just ("just") the French knot asteroid belt!

[wiseheart]

Good for you, especially with such an ambitious project!

[celli]

Thank you! It's taking less time than I predicted - or I'm obsessively stitching more than usual. One of the two.

An exciting week ahead!

[celli]

Very excited! For non-stitchy things too, but we all know the important part. :D

[badly_knitted]

WOOHOO! You're going to have fun stitching this week!

Sounds like you've made amazing progress, but I don't envy you all those French knots...

[celli]

Fortunately I am the weirdo who enjoys French knots. But even for me, this is a loooooot. I think they should be at least two different colors, too, hm...

[badly_knitted]

I don't mind doing them, but it's a case of quantity. For an asteroid belt, I'm imagining there will have to be quite a lot.

I think you're right about the colours. All one colour would be too same-y.
