Check-In Post March 5th 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: Which craft that you don't already do would you most like to try?


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!

No crafting yet, but I want to do some work on my sleeve in a bit. *fingers crossed*

Second sleeve is finished! Not cast off in case I need to add another 10 rows, but it's the same length as the first sleeve. Next step is to join a shoulder seam and do the neckband...

You are steaming forward like whoa!

Feels more like I'm creeping along like an arthritic snail, lol! I wanted to get a sweater done by the end of January, and now it's March!

And my first sleeve is done! As I'm going home tomorrow afternoon I'm going to stop here. I toyed with the idea of starting a béret right now but it'll be wiser to just put everything on hold here, finish the jumper during the next holidays--the second sleeve should be quick & easy--and only then start something else.

[badly_knitted]

Sounds like a plan!

Well done on completing the first sleeve!

Do you crafting you'll be going home to now the holiday is over?

I present you the finished 4th pages of the two baby books. (Still not via Pinterest, that problem needs a computer-savvy saviour, but I made room in my LJ scrapbook by deleting some old pictures.)

The closed pages (pink the girl version, blue the boy one, as always):



And the same ones opened:

So adorable! Loving the teddy bears!

[wiseheart]

They made me fall in love with those particular sheets in the first place. :)

[badly_knitted]

Not at all surprising!

[spiralicious]

They are adorable!

I'm determined to finish the gold couching today and Ive brought it to work for my lunch time project. I needed extra for the lining but when it arrived it was the wrong colour and they don't have it anymore, so I've ordered more for a whole new lining.

*cheers you on*

Oh no! That's such a nuisance!

[wiseheart]

It really is!
