Check-In Post February 28th 2021

[badly_knitted]

Hello to all members, 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.


Today's Question: No question today, but starting tomorrow pensnest will be hosting for a week!


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!

Two hours of knitting tonight netted me a massive 54 arm warmer rows! Both arm warmers are now at 80 rows and I'm hoping there's enough yarn for another 10.

Impressive.

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! Funny how much more I can get done while glued to the TV!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Wow, wow, wow!

[badly_knitted]

Finally my progress is visible, lol!

[alafaye]

Woo!

[badly_knitted]

I impressed myself!

[medievalrosalie]

Woah! That's a lot of knitting!!

[badly_knitted]

Yep! They're only short rows, 45 stitches each on this pair, but it mounts up!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you!

I've worked on my afghan border a little the last couple days. It's hard to get far because it takes a lot of counting, and two other people live here. XD

[alafaye]

Yay!

[badly_knitted]

I imagine the distractions would make it difficult to keep count. Still, progress is being made, so well done!

[medievalrosalie]

It still counts as progress! Yay!

[alafaye]

I have a progress photo!

[badly_knitted]

That looks lovely!

[alafaye]

Thank you :)

[medievalrosalie]

oooooooo nice!

[alafaye]

Thanks!

I've totally failed to do any crafting the last few days and I'm really in the mood for sewing. Sleep is a priority. I'm still so excited about the pale blue wool and I really want to pattern, cut and stat sewing that into a surcote. Hopefully this week. Or more hood embroidery. One of them.

[badly_knitted]

I agree on the sleep thing, I've not been getting anywhere near enough so I'm worn out all the time.

I hope you get to enjoy some quality sewing time soon. And sleep!

[medievalrosalie]

I find sewing relaxing, even if I'm slow at it. I can plot and plan while I sew!

[badly_knitted]

I think most of us find our crafting relaxing.
