Check-In Post January 25th 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!

As I think I mentioned last night, the back of my sweater is finished, so I'm just about to continue with the front. Don't know how many rows I'll manage, we'll have to see.

[wiseheart]

Oh, you'll finish it in no time!

[badly_knitted]

Still got the sleeves after I do the front, and the worst part about sleeves is the rows just get longer and longer. Narrow at the cuffs and wide at the top. It's a pain, and I have to make TWO! One for each arm, *sigh*

[wiseheart]

You can make just one and say it's a fashion statement. *g*

[badly_knitted]

LMAO! I'd have a cold arm though...

[wiseheart]

When that happens, you can turn it inside out and wear that way until your arm gets warm again. ;))

[badly_knitted]

Wouldn't look as good inside out though.

[darkcedars]

Wow you're really moving!

[badly_knitted]

Progress is very satisfying! Got 20 rows done tonight =D

[darkcedars]

Worked a little on mending this morning.

I just finished round 13 on the doily.

[wiseheart]

Good, good!
(Each time you mention mending I feel guilty...)

[darkcedars]

Mending and guilt go together for me too.

[badly_knitted]

You're moving along well with the doily!

Well done on continuing the mending.

I haven't picked up my knitting in a few days but I did tonight.

I worked on the red velvet cake hat and started the decreases. I need to dig out my double points soon so I can finish it.

[badly_knitted]

Sometimes life gets in the way of crafting. Sounds like the hat is coming along well and will soon be finished!
