Check-In Post January 18th 2024

[badly_knitted]

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!

I completed the third pattern repeat last night, and I'm 4 rows into the fourth. Planning on knitting a bit more later this evening.


Also sewed up the second pink arm warmer. I think that leaves 4 pairs to sew up.

[badly_knitted]

I am currently working on a sage-ish green baby blanket.

I began a poncho for myself before the end of the year and finished it a couple of weeks ago. I think it's just so cute.

[wiseheart]

It is very pretty!

[badly_knitted]

That's so pretty!

Good luck with the baby blanket.

I set aside the felt songbook for a couple of days and started working on the two baby books that are due somewhen middle or late Spring. I've done the basic covers today, which reminded me why working with double-sided tape is such a nightmare. Fellow paper crafters would agree, I think.

[badly_knitted]

I certainly agree!

Good idea to give your sore fingers a rest.

[wiseheart]

I still have a lot of detail work on the songbook, plus the binding, so I have to place myself carefully. I only have those ten fingers, after all. *g*

[badly_knitted]

Very true, fingers need to be treated carefully to make them last.

Ooh, what a great question! I think for me it's a tie between my Jimin embroidery:



I think the stitching turned out well and the colors make me so happy. And #2, learning to crochet amigarumi:


These are all kits - I'm very proud of them and just starting to branch out into other patterns!

[badly_knitted]

They're all terrific! I especially love how you've done the necklaces on the stitching. =)

[wiseheart]

I wanted to say the same but you were faster. *g*
