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 finished making the legs for my bonus batch of spiders last night, so today I fluffed all the feet. I just need to cut eyes for them and then assemble them.


Then I crocheted around rings for the completed spiders, got about half of those done and I've got the various yarns out for the rest as I hope to finish those tonight.

Yay!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks!

Whoa, I didn't realize that it had moved into *bonus* spiders past the original army.

Spiders breed like... meeces. *g*

[badly_knitted]

They do *g*

Meeces also breed like meeces... *eyes knitting bag*

[wiseheart]

Sounds ominous. *g*

[badly_knitted]

With a double helping of Om.

You remember the sparkly purple yarn I bought a while back? *grins*

[badly_knitted]

Yeah, just 25 though. I was making a lot of rings before matching them to spiders and ended up with 25 that didn't match anything, so naturally I can't let them go to waste... *looks innocent*

Excellent work

[badly_knitted]

Thanks!

Worked on my sanding project and felt like I had good progress. 30 minutes of sanding is probably equal to 2 hours of something else.

Crocheting another dishcloth while a tray of burritos are in the oven.

[wiseheart]

That sanding sounds like really hard work. You are a trooper!

[badly_knitted]

Sanding does take a lot of physical effort, especially done by hand.

Just don't get the burritos and the dishcloths mixed up. ;)

[spiralicious]

Great job! Sanding is quite the workout

[wiseheart]

I finally finished the back cover. I also made a red currant-and-quark traybake because we had guests in the afternoon. And now I'm totally done in.

[badly_knitted]

*cheers* Another step closer to completion!

The traybake looks delicious.

[wiseheart]

It is very yummy... and nearly gone by now. ;))

[badly_knitted]

Things like that never last long.
