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.

Well done on the keyhole scarf!

You can always submit the shawl as it is, then make it bigger at a later date if you want to.

[althea_valara]

Yup, that's the plan re: the shawl. I did submit it as is, and will likely make it bigger in the future.

Excellent!

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?

[althea_valara]

This is the keyhole scarf I made: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bow-tie-keyhole-scarf

Basically, it has an opening near one end so you can pull the other end through, and that way it won't fall off your neck.

Well done
