Check-In Post March 27th 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 have finished the back of my sweater! Now I just have to make the front and then I can put all the pieces together... Still quite a lot to do.

[yarnofariadne]

Hooray! Progress :D

[yarnofariadne]

Still making steady progress on the rainbow scarf!

I did a bit of crafting in the afternoon. The Hello Kitty booklets now all have the beds and the bedroom rugs fixed. Next up will be the bedside tables, the lamps(*) and the wall clocks, and the bedrooms will be finished. That would be two rooms out of four, each, so I actually might be able to complete the things by the end of June when they are due.

(*) The original bedroom design I downloaded as a free template had a fish bowl on the bedside table, but that could be dangerous, right? What if Kitty becomes peckish during the night? That goldfish wouldn't stand a chance! *g*

Great, it's getting closer! This is the last sweater you were trying to do, right?

[darkcedars]

Great! :D

[darkcedars]

Ha! ...maybe that's the reason?

Husband picked up the flannel I ordered yesterday for the pillowcases. I didn't know the pink daisies one had smiley faces, but that's okay.



Working a bit more on the baby blanket this afternoon.

[darkcedars]

Okay, that's huge but I'm going to leave it.

[badly_knitted]

Getting there, one step at a time.

[badly_knitted]

Excellent! You're knitting up a rainbow!

[badly_knitted]

Yes, lamps will be much safer than fishbowls!

[badly_knitted]

Yes, still on the blue one. This one's taking a long time to make.

[badly_knitted]

Pretties! The smiley faced daisies are cute, but I like the bees best.

[badly_knitted]

It's fine, no one will mind.

[wiseheart]

Slowly but steadily. :)

[wiseheart]

Go you!

[wiseheart]

For the fish in any case. *g*

[wiseheart]

Oh, they are so lovely!

[badly_knitted]

It'll get me there in the end.

My aunt stopped by and was slightly jealous of the bees. She'd gotten a flannel to back a baby quilt last week, but the bees would have been perfect.

[darkcedars]

I'm pretty happy with them.

[badly_knitted]

She'll have to get her own bee flannel if she wants it, lol!
