Check-In Post February 14th 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: Who do you most enjoy making things for: family, friends, yourself, a special someone?


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 guess I stole everyone's crafting mojo...

So far today, I have done:

* 36 minutes on the doll
* 49 minutes on the stocking
* 47 minutes on the Nordic Stripes blanket
* Another 39 minutes on the doll

...and I'm about to work on the doll some more!

I want to take the doll to Stitch Club tomorrow and work on it there, but if I'm going to do that, I need to get past the neck/shoulders because those parts require concentration. Problem is, I usually insert the eyes before I start the neck decreases. Eyes were supposed to come today, but I've been tracking them and they're not going to come until late tomorrow, after Stitch Club.

But I just grabbed another doll I have in progress, and I *should* be able to insert the eyes by putting my fingers through the arm openings. It'll be a bit of a stretch but should work. So I am going to continue work on the doll in a few minutes. but first: a break to post this/check other social media.

You may have stolen everyone's crafting mojo, but you put it to good use ;)

Good luck with the doll at Stitch Club and later when you put the eyes in

You're being amazingly productive, keep it up! *grins* It's good to have at least one person here making positive progress to encourage the rest of us to knuckle down.

Sucks that your eyes are going to arrive late (and that is a really weird sentence to type, lol!) Good luck with everything!

Go you!
