Check-In Post November 24th 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!

Still no actual crafting, today got eaten up by laundry, physio exercises, and writing.


Looks like the winner of the sweater vote is the lacy diamonds, but I'd welcome suggestions for what colour I should use when I do the other pattern. Because I will make it at some point.

Errr... which one was the lacy diamonds again? The one on the left or the one on the right? Sorry, I don't understand knitspeak. *hides in shame*

[badly_knitted]

The one on the left. It's not knitspeak, no technical terms in there at all, it's just a basic description of what it looks like to most people, a diamond pattern.

[wiseheart]

As the Daleks would say, my vision in that area is seriously impaired. *g*

[badly_knitted]

*grins* I'm a sucker for diamond patterns so I see them everywhere.

Since the other has little open stitches, I'd consider what shirts you're wearing under it with the sweater color choice. Unless they are all white. :D

[badly_knitted]

To be honest, I pick the shirt to wear with the sweater. If I want to wear a certain sweater, I go through my shirts to find which work with it. I find a black shirt can look quite striking under something with holes. White also works of course, and light blue goes well under certain colours
