Check-In Post February 21st 2021

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!

26 rows on the first arm warmer and 20 on the second. Not sure how far the yarn will go so I want to get both up to 60 rows then work both together.

Having sorted through my scrapbag at the end of last month, I've been making an extra effort to use some of them up before I start cutting into new Beanies. Ive sort of kind of set myself a target of making ten new scrapbag babies in a row, and so far Im at six. Also made my first two Magnus Archives beanie - Bagel, Avatar of the Spiral, and Agape, Avatar of the Corruption.

I have managed about 5 rows on my baby blanket during D&D before I had to take charge of my kiddo while I gamed.

A frustrating long weekend all round, starting with my favourite border punch breaking, suffered through a lack of writing inspiration or energy, and ending with general mishap and disaster with all the cards I tried to make. One had to have its butterfly square motifs pulled off and restuck three times due to distractions from bickering family, and then I stuck the whole panel on the card upside down. Not to mention spilling my whole box of stickers all over the floor when it came loose from the top of the box. Argh!
Not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow either. Have already seen my inbox since I had to spend 3 hours of my annual leave day attending a seminar online. Lots of stupid urgent requests in there.
Getting so grumpy in my old age. :( Hope everyone else had a better and more productive weekend.

Cards made pre-unco-crisis (note, how bad my day has been the first time I posted this photo I noticed afterwards that one of the cards was upside down and had to retake and re-upload the photo. Guh!):


Cards I nearly threw across the room during my bad day:
