Check-In Post January 26th 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!

Managed 20 rows last night and hoping to do the same tonight =)

[wiseheart]

Good luck! I had another totally craft-less day, myself. :(

[darkcedars]

Only chores here. Bleh.

[wiseheart]

For me, too. And tomorrow promises to be even worse. I keep tentative hopes for Sunday...

[badly_knitted]

That's too bad, but it's not always easy to fit everything in.

I did my 20 rows!

[wiseheart]

Ain't that the truth!

[badly_knitted]

Days are too short, and they get shorter as we get older.

[darkcedars]

Great!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! I got the second pattern repeat done, so I'm making steady progress.

Sorry to hear you were snowed under with chores =(

[spiralicious]

Very nice :D

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! I'm 3.5 pattern repeats into the front now.

Well, I lost my mojo for a while, so I haven't been checking in here. I hope everyone (and your projects!) is doing wonderfully.

I still don't have much mojo, but I AM scheduled to send an update to my patron tomorrow, and that got me off my butt to work on the Christmas Stockings. I finished the front of the stocking and am now working on the Santa applique. Just did 51 minutes of work and completed the body. That's something, at least.

I'm really looking forward to the next tournament of Nerdopolis, as that usually brings the mojo back. SOON!

Looking back at last year, which of your completed projects (or WiPs) were you most pleased with?

That would be the Peppermint blanket! Second place goes to my Final Fantasy XIV Fan Fest entry, as that was a finalist in the contest.

[wiseheart]

Good luck with getting your mojo back. I know the feeling when it's gone. And one can't start early enough with Christmass-y stuff. *g*

[darkcedars]

Oh good, finished a part at least. Hope your mojo comes back.

[badly_knitted]

Sorry to hear your crafting mojo is hibernating, but well done for making stocking progress!

The blanket is gorgeous, something you should definitely be proud of. The FF doll too, not surprising you were a finalist.

here's hoping for more mojo! <3

[spiralicious]

Hope your mojo comes back soon

I did finishing work on two projects today - this one of Yoongi from BTS and another BTS-related one that's not quite finish-finished yet. I'm temped to go borrow someone's hot glue gun for that one but I haven't decided yet.

[badly_knitted]

That one looks great! Good luck with the other one.

[spiralicious]

Nice! Good luck
