Check-In Post July 31st 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!

It's only 1:54pm and so far today I have finished a keyhole scarf. Now, I really should be working on the crocheted shawl, but I'm tired and thinking of just saying eff it, and calling it a small scarf and submitting it to Nerdopolis as is.

Congrats on finishing the keyhole scarf! I wouldn't blame you for calling the shawl done; discretion is the better part of valour, or something.

I know I'm very ignorant, but what is a keyhole scarf?

Lost my morning to another migraine and spent all day busily trying to catch up - managed exactly one row on the cover-up but that feels like a win with the day I've had!

I don't remember today really well. I did remember that yesterday I actually wrote a little Stargate Atlantis ficlet for the Winterfest in July bingo. So I guess I did do something yesterday.

Today, I made some time at the library so I could type on a real computer, but I didn't get either project done. Though I did get my bingo posted. My projects were: a discussion of my Batman/Justice League YouTuber AU for the "post anything" prompt for 100 days of Halloween Happy and a response post to the buzzfeed article "18 Things About American High Schools That Brits Find Confusing". They will get posted, just not today.

For the Halloween Happy prompt fill on Instagram, I posted the mess I made of trying to find the end of a skein of yarn.

I know I poked at writing out some knitting pattern alterations and beautifying my bullet journal.

I also had to close the bingo round as my co-host was suddenly unable.

Mostly I just remember being repeatedly attacked with affection from the cats I'm staying with.

You're an SGA fan, too? Then we have another thing in common.
