Check-In Post March 18th 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: If you were only allowed one craft, which would you pick?


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!

Still no crafting today, maybe tomorrow. I also need to make a card for my sister's 65th birthday next month. Yikes!


If I could only do one craft, it would have to be knitting.

No, really? Who'd have thought? *g*

One single bunny done today. I was in cleaning Hell all morning.

[syderia]

I did my square in spite of the four hours spent driving today (there and back)!
I'm not going to do more because my eyes are crossing and I think I'll tuck in early today too.

I think the only craft, as such, that I do is crochet, so, that's what I would keep. 😉

[syderia]

How many bunnies do you have left?

[syderia]

Is she an older or a younger sister?

[badly_knitted]

*grins* I have over 40 years invested in knitting!

[badly_knitted]

But another bun is done, so that's progress! Sorry you had such a big job with the cleaning.

[badly_knitted]

That must have been exhausting! I hope you don't have to drive so far too often. Well done in getting a square crocheted.

That makes it easier to choose =)

[badly_knitted]

Older. I'm a mere 62.

[jupiter2932]

Nice progress!

[jupiter2932]

Hope tomorrow works out for crafting :D

[jupiter2932]

Nice getting that square done! That's a ways to drive.

[darkcedars]

The doily is packed up to be a gift.


I'll have to stick with crochet. :D

[jupiter2932]

I'm going to do a bit of crocheting tonight, but I don't know what I'll be working on.

Oh, and if I had to pick one craft, I'd *probably* pick crocheting, because I can do it while reading or watching TV, once I get used to a pattern. But I'd be tempted to go for sewing because I'm a Shorty McCurvyPants, so sleeves and hems are a constant issue.

[jupiter2932]

That's lovely :D

[darkcedars]

Good for you for getting a square done despite all the driving.

[darkcedars]

ugh. At least you got some bunny time in.

[darkcedars]

Will card construction work out for the finger injury?

[badly_knitted]

Fingers crossed!

[badly_knitted]

That's so pretty! I'm sure it will be appreciated =)

Of course, because you're so good at it!

[badly_knitted]

Hope you have a relaxing time with your crochet!

Altering clothes so they fit doesn't count as crafting, only things that are enjoyable ;)

[badly_knitted]

Not if I decide to cross stitch something, but first I have to pick a design and get the threads out. I can do that part. =)

Alas, there has been no progress on my lovely witch's hat. Due to staffing issues, I've been working 6-days out of 7 for 4 weeks now. *sigh* Soon, hopefully, soon the issues will be over and I'll get some energy back.

Only one craft? Ouch. I'd have to flip a coin between crochet and knitting. Or cheat and claim both as they are sibling crafts involving making loops over a stick. *wink*

[badly_knitted]

Oh, that's sad! So sorry you're having to work so much. Here's hoping you can get back to working normal hours soon and regain enough energy for crafting.

I love the way you think!
