Check-In Post August 9th 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!

I actually had nice weather today so I spent a while in the garden, cutting some brambles and gathering bindweed. The garden is so overgrown though that it hasn't made much difference.


The last 5 spiders are done! Tomorrow I'll have to get on with finishing the ends on the rings. Then the rings need to be matched with spiders to see what colours I still need more of.

I'm glad the weather behaved for you!

Tomorrow should also be good, but after that I think it's going downhill again. Like two decent days in the last month =/

Congratulations on finishing the spiders!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! Way more than the 250 I'd originally planned, but as I ended up with 520 I can just say I got the digits slightly muddled ;)

[wiseheart]

That is great!

[badly_knitted]

It was =)

Completed through row 61 on the beach cover-up - 100 to go!

[syderia]

Yay!

[badly_knitted]

WOOHOO! That's quite a landmark!

Travel day today. I decided to try round C2C crochet, which I'd seen described as the sort of thing that would work well in the car.
I did four rounds, which were fun and a nice way to pass the time while still being able to discuss with the driver.

[badly_knitted]

Yay! Sounds like it worked out well =D

I've finished the last regular page of the baby book. It was a fairly detail-heavy one, with an accordion card that's bound together with a ribbon, so I had to be very careful with it. I was lucky, though, it turned out exactly how I wanted it, so that's good.

[badly_knitted]

Yay, well done! So glad it turned out how you hoped it would =)

[wiseheart]

So am I, especially right before another craft-less day.
