Check-In Post August 6th 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: 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!

Completed 12 more spiders today, which puts me back on track. Only 10 more to finish!

[wiseheart]

Good job! Go you!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks!

[yarnofariadne]

Hooray!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks!

[syderia]

You're almost there! Go you!

[badly_knitted]

So close to the finish line! Still got all the rings to get finished of course, but they're quicker to do.

[syderia]

Do you already have some made or do you have all 500+ to deal with?

[badly_knitted]

I'm at 220 so only another 300 to go.

I went to the supermarkets in the morning because Aldi had craft paper on offer, and as you all know, I haven't got enough paper to work with - only half a cupboard full! *g* The patterned ones were ugly, but I bought two thick pads of pastel-coloured ones, in two different weights, so I think I'm covered with card material for the next year or five. ;))

I also worked a bit on the baby book. 10 pages are finished now - two more and the cover to go. Plus the binding, of course, although binding a paper book is only half as stressful as binding a felt one... which I still have to do, too. A lot of work until the end of the month, and almost a week is gone already. *sigh*

[yarnofariadne]

You're doing great!

[wiseheart]

I'm trying my best. :)

[syderia]

Go you!

[wiseheart]

Thanks!

[badly_knitted]

Yay for paper supplies, they always come in handy.

Excellent progress on the baby book. Good luck with getting both books finished!

[wiseheart]

Thanks, I'll need it. And one can never have enough supplies. ;)

[badly_knitted]

So true =)

Two more rows on the beach cover-up, and I dyed my old swimsuit! It's still drying on the line (first day without rain in weeks, huzzah) so I'll wait to have a verdict on the colour until it's dry.

[badly_knitted]

Yay, great progress!

Hope the swimsuit comes out black!

[wiseheart]

Wow, you were busy!

[yarnofariadne]

I've also been doing writing research, working on an editing job, writing podcast outlines, preparing for the two D&D campaigns I DM, and editing videos, so I'd say I certainly was XD

[wiseheart]

I am duly impressed. :)

[syderia]

It was really cold and windy today, so while we went out this morning, we came back to the flat at the beginning of the afternoon. I made the dinosaur's second back leg, attached it to the first one and started the body from there.

[yarnofariadne]

Well done!

[syderia]

Thanks!

[badly_knitted]

Cold and windy is no fun, especially being out in it.

Great dinosaur progress!

[syderia]

Thanks!

[wiseheart]

I can't wait to see the finished dinosaur! :)
