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!

A lot of knitting today while we tried to watch through some of the DVDs we got from the library. Also the very tip of one of my knitting needles broke. It's still perfectly serviceable as a knitting needle, but that end hurts worse against my fingers than when they were fresh out of the package sharp.

Oh, and all three baby crows are running amok now.

Excellent! My advice on the broken needle is to take an emery board to it, smooth off all the sharp bits and blunt the tip.

Yay for young crows!

[spiralicious]

Thanks! I will definitely be doing that.

:D

[badly_knitted]

Hope it helps.

[spiralicious]

It did! It was very helpful advice.

[badly_knitted]

Yay! Emery boards are multi-purpose ;)

Baby crows!

The ones here live further down the road. I see the adults but if there are babies they don't come this far.

[spiralicious]

Normally, the babies hide silently on the ground after they leave the nest, until they are big enough to start flying. So, that's actually a good sign.

I'm not sure what is up with the hooligans we have here.

Oh, and all three baby crows are running amok now.

How, exactly, are they doing that? *g*

[spiralicious]

So, essentially, crows leave the nest before they can actually fly and all three of them are out of the nest. They are spending their time either bouncing around tree branches or randomly showing up around the neighborhood on the ground, seemingly out of no where, exploring. Their mother seems very distressed trying to keep track of all of their locations.
