Check-In Post February 20th 2021

[badly_knitted]

Hello to all members, 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!

Another 4 rows knitted on my arm warmers. Well, on the first of the pair anyway.

[smallhobbit]

I am curious - are they related to snocks in any way?

[badly_knitted]

Distant cousins, I think!

[nagi_schwarz]

Well done! Go you! How many pairs is this now? What color is this pair?

[badly_knitted]

How many? I don't know! One of these days I'll sew the rest up and count them... These are a sort of mid-pink. I like pink, despite not being girly. It suits my colouring.

[alafaye]

Woo!

[badly_knitted]

Slow progress, but it's Dancing on Ice tomorrow night so I'll do better then. *grins*

[medievalrosalie]

Awesome!! They'll be done in no time!

[badly_knitted]

Don't know about that, I'm still on the first one and less than halfway, but they'll get done eventually.

[smallhobbit]

Owl has two wings, but needs stuffing before she can fly!

[badly_knitted]

Yay, almost there!

[smallhobbit]

Hopefully by the end of the month!

[badly_knitted]

You still have a week!

[nagi_schwarz]

Lovely! I'm excited to see pictures when she's finished!

[smallhobbit]

They'll be a picture, I promise.

[froodle]

Same!

[alafaye]

So close! So exciting.

[smallhobbit]

Yes, getting there.

[medievalrosalie]

I can't wait to see Owl all done!

[smallhobbit]

Not too long now!

[nagi_schwarz]

I managed like two rows on the baby blanket while re-watching a K-drama with a friend today (on a rewatch I don't have to worry about subtitles so much). Something is better than nothing!

[smallhobbit]

That all helps - and they are long rows.

[alafaye]

All progress is good progress :)

[badly_knitted]

Two rows is excellent! That's at least twice as many stitches as I managed!

[medievalrosalie]

Any is better than none! :)

I completely failed to craft anything this weekend, but I did manage to sleep in, do some photo editing on some things, spend some time in the garden and visit a bunch of op shops with a friend stocking up on dvds so I have new movies to watch while I sew, so that counts as crafting prep. Hopefully back to sewing on the hood tomorrow, but there's a very real chance the new wool fabric will arrive and I'll end up cutting that out instead!

[badly_knitted]

Sleep and time in the garden are essentials - I'm looking forward to getting outside if it would just stop raining.

Getting entertainment for crafting sessions is alsao highly important. DVDs are so much better than relying on the TV to provide something watchable when you need it.

Good luck with your sewing or cutting out!
