Check-In Post September 11th 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!

40 more spiders on elastic! (390)


Also had one of my neighbour's chickens get into my garden, so had to help her retrieve it and find where it had got through. I looked out the window and thought, what's that ginger splodge on the lawn? Changed out of my reading glasses, and... Oh, it's a chicken! Parsley is now back home where she belongs.

She should have left you an egg or two as a guest gift. *g*

I worked a bit on the second songbook and cut out various decorative elements for the paper albums. And napped twice. The days are quite warm again, so I'm tired all the time.

I had my first knitting lesson... got it in theory but my work is a bit rough to look at yet.

[badly_knitted]

And the welcome heat here has vanished again so I'm back to cold and rain. Wish you could send your excess heat here!

Well done for managing to get some crafting in between naps =)

[badly_knitted]

They only lay one a day, but I would have accepted it as tribute *grins* Sadly, she didn't.

[badly_knitted]

Congratulations! First attempts are seldom all that pretty to look at, but keep practising and you will soon improve.

Today was the first day of my new full-time job so I wasn't sure I'd have time to get any knitting in, but I've done one row!

[yarnofariadne]

Aww Parsley is such a good chicken name. I'm glad she's home, though! And yay for more spiders!

[yarnofariadne]

Truly making any progress in the heat is admirable!

[yarnofariadne]

It's always rough going at the beginning - well done for taking the first step!

[wiseheart]

It isn't as hot as it used to be a couple of weeks ago, but still warm enough to undermine one's determination. *g*

[wiseheart]

Congrats, that was a heroic deed!

[badly_knitted]

She's a nice chicken, but she needs to be with the other chickens.

Thanks!

[badly_knitted]

Congratulations on the job, I hope the first day went well!

Well done for managing to knit! Every row counts.
