Check-In Post June 24th 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: At the request of new member cora... In light of new members, where are we all in the world? No need for exact locations, just general country is fine! Leaving this question open for a few more days so anyone who hasn't answered it yet still can.


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!

10 spiders assembled!


Now I'm going to watch TV and make more spider legs. Still got about 50 sets to make.

I was sewing like mad all morning because I needed to make some progress. Which I did. All page bases are on the same level of completeness - meaning not at all. The more I do, the more details I realize need to be added, and July is picowrimo time, when I'll make pitiful attempts to get some writing done. That leaves me less than a week from June and August. That is very little time! I'm starting to panic earnestly!

I'm also toying with the idea of making some cherry stone pillows for the charity fair, if I can get enough of the things. One of my (ex-)colleagues promised to save them for me while making preserves - we'll see how many come together. I've got some fabric rests I need to get rid of, and for this task I might even try my luck with Louise the Younger (=baby sewing machine) again. That would be quite the time-saver!

The infinity scarf and the scarf for my friend's plushie! I kind of curled up the little one in the second photo for how it'll look around the plushie's neck (which was essentially how I was checking the length while knitting it).

I lost my safety eyes in the move and they're not expensive but I'm annoyed!

Still working on the woven blanket. I got more red yarn so at least I won't have to worry about running out.

Lots of book work and some cool news on one (the braille version is out now!) Lots of sewing but still got a lot of things to do in the next ten days before the event. Pretty darn excited that my landlord is having a house inspection the day after I get back, when traditionally, the house is full of piles of clothes needing hand washing, cooking gear and camping equipment everywhere. I asked to reschedule, but no word back. sigh.
