Check-In Post August 23rd 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!

Two rows thus far - I got hit with probably a week's accumulated exhaustion earlier so we'll see if I manage another but I am considering it. Just over halfway through!

Ooh yeah we've got a solid 8 days of rain in the forecast up here, too. Well done on your progress and I hope the wet weather isn't too hard on you!

More spiders!
We should get thunderstorms overnight, which I hope for because it's been way too warm this week.

I finished the unicorn's body!
Coming up next is the head.
I also went to the nearest craft store and got a 5.5 hook for future projects, but no yarn as they didn't have any cotton of the right weight. That will have to wait for the weekend.

And the spider factory goes into full production mode. :)

Over halfway is good!

[personal profile] wiseheart 2023-08-23 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow! Almost there!
Good luck with getting the right kind of yarn!

I *almost* finished the back cover of the felt book. The delay is caused by the extreme heat, which forces us to keep the blinds down over the greater part of the day, so crafty times are reduced for the early morning - but I just can't get up at ungodly hours, unless I absolutely have to. Still, I hope that in another day or two the back cover will be done, and then I can face the problem of binding. Ain't I lucky? [/sarcasm]

Still making good spider progress. I'd trade you some sun for some rain, but you probably don't want it to be over 100F. Maybe can split it and be more reasonable for both of us.

Halfway is great!

Really made fast progress!

Super hot here too but air conditioning is common. :/ Is putting off the binding only going to make it more painful?

Have been struggling under chores, but the main floor rugs are washed and put back. Decided the heat had to be good for something.

I settled down and finished a dishcloth, will start another after dinner.

I can't really decide. ;/
At least when I finally attack it, it will be done in the foreseeable future.

[personal profile] wiseheart 2023-08-23 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't it hard to wash the rugs by these temperatures?

Cleaning them in the morning, and then the sun gets to them! Dry faster than when I do this in fall.

We are quilted and bound (it's a rough job, not ideal) and now have to get the sleeve on, label it, and bury as many threads as we can find (inevitably only to spot one when it's hanging up in the show because OF COURSE).

[personal profile] darkcedars 2023-08-24 11:34 am (UTC)(link)
Definitely too cold! I don't mind up into the low 90s at all, we could definitely spare an extra 10 degrees and still be quite hot here.

And I didn't get a thunderstorm so my flat is still too hot ๐Ÿฅต

I have at least four places I can visit on the weekend which should have what I'm looking for ๐Ÿงถ

I should be able to find the yarn I want this weekend (it's a matter of having access to a car, mostly)

Thanks!

I might open a bottle of champagne when this project is done (if I had one to begin with).
wiseheart: (ianto)

[personal profile] wiseheart 2023-08-24 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
We only drink alcohol-free champagne (with peach flavour) anyway. But you're definitely right about ginger ale.

Well, it must have worked ๐Ÿ˜‰ because it started to cool down today, and it was mostly cloudy which is a big help, as my flat is mostly south-faxing.
