Check-In Post December 30th 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!

No crafting yet tonight, I'll be getting some knitting done in a bit, but last night I finished the knitting the first of this pair of arm warmers so tonight I'll be working on the other one.

You are absolutely tireless! Respect! :)

I've rearranged the pages of the Christmas-themed quiet book for the third time, and the new (hopefully final) front page is now this one:



I've made this page more than a year ago, but the inscription in the upper left corner, which means "Merry Christmas" in Hungarian, is new. I've discovered this ready-made felt piece in the Auchan supermarket last Thursday, and this was the only page I could fit it in. But it's better so, I think. This page doesn't have any removable parts, so there will be less danger of some elements getting lost. I'll put Santa and his chimney inside the book. ;)

I'm not tireless, right now I'm just tired, lol! But I did manage 38 rows.

[badly_knitted]

That's very pretty and makes a great front cover!

I am almost done one of my fingerless mitts and hope to get the other started soon. I might even get them done today!

[badly_knitted]

Woohoo! That's speedy work!

I did part of another row on the infinity scarf - didn't have time to do more, but should do today!

I've worked on getting my bullet journal set up for the new year the last couple days. No decorations, just functional.

I got that fic posted yesterday. I ventured out of my comfort zone and while it was a cute fic,I have regrets. But it also means I officially did all of the 2023 Snowflake Challenges, which is a first in the many years I have done the Snowflake, and it takes the pressure off myself from trying to get them all done with the up coming one.

I also pasted together some cards.

I think I did some other things maybe, but that's all I can remember right now.

[spiralicious]

Way to go!

[spiralicious]

It's so pretty!

[spiralicious]

Well done!

[spiralicious]

Very nicely done :D

[badly_knitted]

Well done. Every stitch is progress!

[badly_knitted]

Well done for completing Snowflake! I have yet to do even one of the challenges, though I look at them every year, lol!

You've had a productive day!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! Got quite a few rows done =)

[wiseheart]

I think it will do, yes. I'm so glad I found this inscription; I couldn't make all those letters properly from scratch.

[wiseheart]

Thank you. :)
Sewing on all those star-shaped sequins took literally days, but it was worth the effort, I think.

[wiseheart]

Wow! Sounds like a very effective day!

[badly_knitted]

No, that would be impossibly fiddly.

[spiralicious]

Thanks! I tried :)

[spiralicious]

I can imagine! It came out so nice.

[spiralicious]

Nice

[spiralicious]

Thanks!
