Check-In Post August 18th 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!

Matched more spiders to rings, and crocheted round more rings. Now I'm going to relax for the evening because I feel too crappy to do anything else.

[wiseheart]

Poor you! Your misery just never ends, does it? How heroic of you to still work in the spider business!

[wiseheart]

I found the time to make one of the little felt purses I was planning to make. It turned out... acceptable. I'll take a picture once I've made a few more.

[badly_knitted]

Already getting started on the next project! Good for you!

[badly_knitted]

I felt not so bad earlier, and I wanted something to do. Now I just feel crappy *sigh*

[syderia]

Go you!
The infection isn't clearing up?

[syderia]

Yay! How many are you planning to make?

[syderia]

No crochet yesterday.
Today I finished the second back leg, made the second foreleg and attached the foreleg together.
Onwards to the body (which will grow out of the forelegs).

[wiseheart]

I'm not sure. It depends on how many felt pieces of the right size I'm gonna find. These will be for the charity fair before Christmas, with lots of other small pieces. We'll see how many they will be in the end.

[wiseheart]

Unlike in real life where it happens the other way round... *g*
Nice progress, though.

[badly_knitted]

Not so much, and I only have one tablet left. Not sure what to do after that. =(

[badly_knitted]

Wooo! Unicorn forming like magic before your eyes!

[darkcedars]

I'm glad you could do some spider-work!

[darkcedars]

Sounds like good progress. I like the patterns that grow like that.

[syderia]

That sucks.
Find someone to prescribe stronger antibiotics? Or something with a local application which might work directly on the tooth?

[darkcedars]

Maybe you'll like the next one more.

Picked a few pears at John's and did a little more scrap wood sorting. The next days are over 100F soni probably won't get over there.

Sitting in bed with the dishcloth project.

[badly_knitted]

Yeah, that was good. Everything else hasn't been.

[badly_knitted]

Only dentists can prescribe antibiotics for dental problems, and I've already had both kinds. The tooth has to come out, but I'm in England and that is nowhere as simple as it should be, especially for someone with a very severe dental phobia. The government has screwed the NHS up so badly, whole areas of the country have no NHS dentists whatsoever, and they're only allowed to do certain things anyway. I can't afford to go private but I have zero options.

[badly_knitted]

Mm, pears!

That's so hot! Enjoy relaxing with your dishcloth.

[wiseheart]

Oh, I like this one fine enough; It's just annoying that I can never place a central ornament in the actual centre. *g*

[syderia]

😁
Thanks!

[syderia]

Yes, it's easier to feel the progress when you can list the finished parts.

[badly_knitted]

Yep, like that!
