Check-In Post April 3rd 2023

[badly_knitted]

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!

Another 20 rows of the front, which means I'm 10 rows into the third pattern repeat. Got to decide soon where I want to start the neck shaping.

Well done on your progress!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Well done!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you!

[wiseheart]

You are very determined.:) Good, steady job!

[badly_knitted]

Indeed I am. I want to get this one finished.

[smallhobbit]

Convention would have the neck shaping in the middle of the front...

[badly_knitted]

LMAO! I meant how far from the top I want to start. I don't like high necks, so I need to figure out how many more rows to do before the start of shaping.

Procrastinating other things with lots of knitting on the rainbow scarf today - not gonna be able to do that tomorrow, so we'll see how much progress gets made then, haha.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Sounds like productive procrastination!

[wiseheart]

Procrastinating is important!

[smallhobbit]

It sounds like you chose something fun to procrastinate with :)

[badly_knitted]

Always a good idea to knit when you can!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I did a lot of Easter/spring cards last month and I did an Easter theme collage, too.

[yarnofariadne]

These are lovely!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Thank you!

[wiseheart]

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Thanks!

[wiseheart]

I've added the planned embellishments to all three baby books, despite having Big Cleaning Day(TM). That makes me proud!

[smallhobbit]

That's brilliant!

[wiseheart]

Thanks, I'm happy with my achievement.

[badly_knitted]

Well done!

[wiseheart]

Another baby step down the way. ;)

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Wow! Busy and productive day!

[wiseheart]

I'm fairly content with it, yes.

[spiralicious]

Well done!

Finished the base of the Woolly Bully bag! That was my quota for today, but I also went ahead and picked up the stitches for the sides because that is fun. Except I somehow had extra stitches on one of the short sides. o_O I don't know how that happened! Anyway, since it's due to be felted, I'm just going to strategically decrease away the extra stitches - it shouldn't show in the final product.

I did not get anything else done, though I really should have worked on the amigurumi. But I didn't sleep well last night, so I had to nap this afternoon.

[badly_knitted]

Sometimes naps are necessary. Trying to do things when you're too tired to concentrate leads to mistakes, so it's a waste of time and effort.

Well done on bag progress!

Got in about three rows in the shawl I'm crocheting. AND I got some cotton yarn.

[badly_knitted]

Woohooo on both counts!

[spiralicious]

Nice!
