Check-In Post March 12th 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: 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!

Had a post to write for a community I co-mod, so there went my crafting time. Oh well.

That sounds depressingly familiar.

[badly_knitted]

It happens. Some things are time sensitive.

I worked a bit on the egg pouches; not much because I had to finish the bunny cookies first, and then had to go grocery shopping, and then we had choir practice, but a little bit nonetheless. Writing, however, fell short due to all the hectic.

[badly_knitted]

Well done for fitting even a little into such a busy day!

Your pink bunnies are cute =)


Too bad about the writing though.

[wiseheart]

Your pink bunnies are cute =)

Even though they resemble a bit of pigs? ;))

[badly_knitted]

They look pink and bunny shaped to me.

I had a thing this evening, so I took advantage of a meeting which I didn't have to lead and didn't expect to need copious notes to make one more square.

Ah, multitasking at its best! Well done.

A couple of more inches on the jumper body. I'm about 3 inches from binding off. Then I actually need to find my DPNs so I can do the sleeves... ^_^;

I've had a lot of my mind of late, and last night I told my husband I was "stress knitting." He said, "is knitting stressful?" and I said "no, I'm knitting because I'm stressed. So maybe it's knitting therapy instead."

[badly_knitted]

Great progress! I hope the needles won't be too hard to find.

Knitting is definitely therapeutic, and a good way of relieving stress. You're not the only member who stress knits, knitting our way out of stress and into a better frame of mind.

I finished a scarf in black, white, yellow, orange and red stripes and I'm working on a conventional rainbow one now. (Also I keep thinking of the unfinished jumper I left at my parents, and I have to keep myself from just starting another one. I have the yarn, I have the smaller circular needle, I have the pattern, I now have some sort of experience... but I don't quite ahve the time and it's still a bad idea?)

[badly_knitted]

That sounds like a truly glorious scarf! The rainbow one will be awesome too.

(Why wait? You could have a sweater finished before you go back to your parents' place and the one you left there. Yes, I'm a bad influence, lol!)
