Check-In Post August 16th 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've started matching spiders with rings, a task that needs to be done in bright daylight, and now I have a list of rings to make tonight.

[yarnofariadne]

Excellent!

[wiseheart]

Yeah, artificial light just isn't good for matching the colours. Good luck!

[badly_knitted]

Some with coloured legs will have to make do with black rings because with some yarns I don't have enough left to make a whole bunch of rings, but I'm sure no one will mind.

Two more rows on the beach cover-up!

[badly_knitted]

Woohoo! Progressing well!

[wiseheart]

Impressive!

It was a totally craft-less day, despite the deadlines. At least I've brought up the energy to put away all my craft punches. They won't be needed for a while, and my study looks a lot tidier now.

Tomorrow I'll try to bind the baby book (the paper one), as that's something I've already done at least a dozen times. Hopefully it will go well. That would mean one thing out of my hair. *fingers crossed

[syderia]

Tidying up is part of crafting, isn't it? 😉
*Crossing my fingers for the book binding tomorrow*

[wiseheart]

Tidying up takes up the most time in the entire process. *g*
Thanks for the crossed fingers, let's hope they'll help.

[badly_knitted]

I hope the binding goes smoothly!

[syderia]

Today I made the unicorn's horn and the first part of the second back leg (the hoof part, actually).

[wiseheart]

Wow, you're progressing nicely!

[syderia]

Thanks!

[badly_knitted]

Well done! Will it be the forelegs next?

[syderia]

The second foreleg (I already have one) which turns into the body once I've grafted the first one to it.

[badly_knitted]

He (or she) is coming along really well =)
