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!

Craft wise today, I finished the border on the 4th not-a-baby-blanket. I also did the first four rows of the shawl along with the online tutorial. (All of Red Heart yarn's free patterns have video tutorials anymore, though they are a pain to find.) The next 6 rows are repeats of what I've already done, so hopefully they will take up the time of fiber group tomorrow.

The rest of the day was grocery shopping and running errands to help cut down on the need to leave the house during the festival weekend. The tourists are already causing problems. And I finished up all, but one of the activities for the library reading challenge I'm doing that ends at the end of this month.

Yay! That's 4 blanket squares done, right?

Good luck with the shawl it's awesome that there are tutorials for the patterns even if they're not easy to locate.

Hope the festival doesn't cause too many disruptions for you.

It is!

Thanks! It definitely is, I would have been very lost a couple of times without it.

Thanks :) From yesterday (Thursday) until Monday, there are 29+ official events, and who knows how many unofficial, and I plan on staying home as much as possible. Tomorrow will probably be the worst of it, weather dependent.

Sounds like you'll be better off just hiding at home.

It's always good to have a straightforward project to work on.

That is the general plan. I am slightly curious to see what's at the street fair this year, but I doubt I will walk down to fight the crowd.

Yes!

Crowds are a pain.

[spiralicious]

Indeed

Four squares already? That promises to be one impressive blanket eventually! Good luck with the shawl, too.

Two more and it should at least be a proper lap blanket. Thanks! It's been a bit challenging, but I think I'm getting the hang of it.
