Check-In Post April 1st 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 more rows completed, but it hasn't been smooth sailing. I messed up, lost a stitch and had to undo two rows.


I've also apparently lost the ability to add up, because I decided if I could do 18 rows one day and 20 the other, I could complete the 2nd pattern repeat in just two days. But today I realised 18 and 20 only make 38, not 48, so I guess I won't manage what I was hoping for. Brains! Why are they so hard to use?

Oh no, I'm sorry it was a rough road today :(

[badly_knitted]

Thanks. I still did well knitting wise, but unpicking is always a pain.

Maths are the spawn of Sauron! I can't even count the biscuits/cakes/whatever I've messed up because I didn't have the tins the size the recipes required and tried to calculate the right amount of ingredients for a different size.

[badly_knitted]

I used to be able to add up, but not any more.

At least extra biscuits won't go to waste!

[darkcedars]

Ugh. This is surely nothing I've ever done, not familiar at all. :P

[badly_knitted]

*laughs* Thanks for the support.

Brains should come with instruction manuals

[badly_knitted]

Except that you need a working brain to figure out the instructions...

[spiralicious]

True... That is a bit of a wrinkle, isn't it?

[badly_knitted]

Brains are difficult, lol!

[spiralicious]

Indeed XD
