Check-In Post May 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!

Kudos on your productive day!

Hurray for crafting! (Running out of thread sucks though.)

Does this mean the windows are going well?

[smallhobbit]

I'm working through it so I have a patch of dark and then some lighter stitches and then I shall repeat it.

[smallhobbit]

The tiny picnic boxes sounds like a fun thing to do.

[yarnofariadne]

Wonderful!

[yarnofariadne]

Glad you got some crafting done, though sorry about the thread!

[yarnofariadne]

The picnic baskets sound very cute. I hope your brain eased up on you ♥

The rainbow scarf is done - I haven't blocked anything that wasn't 100% wool before, so I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly this wool/acrylic blend dried. I'll take a picture here in a bit and maybe get started on the red infinity scarf next? I've got a lot of projects on the go at the moment so we'll see if I have time.

[badly_knitted]

Ah well, you're getting there. Fingers crossed it won't be much longer.

[badly_knitted]

The little picnic baskets sound adorable!

So sorry you're having trouble sleeping, hope that resolves soon. Enjoy your knitting. Or your rant, as the case may be.

[badly_knitted]

Indeed. I just want this set finished though, I'm tired of all the different shades of brown.

[badly_knitted]

Yay for having the rainbow scarf done!

Having lots of projects can be fun!

[tielan]

Eh, I have another spool...somewhere. It's just hunting it up right now.

The windows are going well! They're in, I'm doing the last bits of sealing everything up so we don't continue to get drafts. It's a lot warmer in the house, which is very good because we have a cold front coming in the next few days and it's gonna be COLD.

I'm just really tired of doing window sealing...

[tielan]

A little bit of crafting is a pleasant change right now!

[wiseheart]

Awww, thanks!

[wiseheart]

Thank you, it feels good to make some serious progress.

[wiseheart]

I'd love to read that ranty post. Have you made it in the end?

[wiseheart]

Congratulations!

[spiralicious]

I didn't end up making it, but I may still yet. My brain kind of fizzled and I need to organize my thoughts a bit better. Also, I'm not sure it's actually as interesting as seemed when I first thought of it.

If I do post it, I'll be sure to link you.

[spiralicious]

Ahh.

That's wonderful progress! That will be nice during the colder weather.

Totally understandable.

[spiralicious]

Understandable.

[spiralicious]

Thanks x3

Not sure where I'm going to store the baskets until I find them homes though.

Knitting won out.

[spiralicious]

Thanks x2

The brain and I are negotiating a truce.

[spiralicious]

Thanks! They were. The precut stickers from the kit made them pretty easy too.

[spiralicious]

Ah, that sounds like a wise plan.
