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!

I haven't finished the rings for the spiders, instead I've cut bodies and bases to go with the 25 rings I already have which don't match any of the spiders I've already made. I cut the yarn for legs last night and made 15 sets, so there are still 10 sets to do tonight, and the eyes to cut. Figured I might as well get all the parts cut while I can see what I'm doing before the wet weather returns and the skies get gloomy.

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!

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.

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]

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.

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).
