Check-In Post January 16th 2024
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.
This Week's Question: Looking back at last year, which of your completed projects (or WiPs) were you most pleased with?
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!

The weekend was a bit of a beast, then when I went to catch up on internet stuff, the internet went out for about 14 1/2 hours and I'm not sure how long it's staying. The antenna TV is still out and the storm is moving in in such a way we are preparing to be without power.
That being said, I have stayed caught up with my decorate a bullet journal layout a day thing. It's just the last 4 days have only needed the date banners covered. I was able to use washi tape on one, but the others I have had to doodle over - diagonal stripes in the bullet journal colors, horizontal purple and green stripes for another, and I drew a bunch of stars on the last.
While I was waiting to see if the internet or TV would come back, I worked on that neon, Fluffable, animal thing. It was easy, but there is no way that would take anyone only an hour. Just stabbing the fluff into the foam form took me around 3. It could have used slightly more instructions and I ended up severely damaging part of mine (though you cannot see it through the fluff). I essentially have a neon stripped tribble, but with a face (and ears & a tail & glasses). It needs a bit more of a trim around the body, but still very cute.
As for the hat, I didn't work on it yesterday, but over the weekend, I got it to the 11 inches, I just need to do the 3 finishing rows. Then I can cast on the last hat of the set.
What am I most pleased with from last year? Probably that first shawl I did that ended up being as wide as the couch almost. I thought I was never going to finish it. It was a hell of a learning experience and oh so pretty.

Yay for you neon stiped Tribble! Sounds cute =)
Also, well done with hat progress!
Is that the one you had trouble measuring? You did so amazingly well with the shawl making. That was a huge project.
