Check-In Post March 23rd 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!

No reply yet to my message about the embroidery floss, I might just have to make do with what I've got.


I have cut the a piece of aida for the project, so that's progress. Also gone through a few more magazines as I still need to find a design for my friend's birthday in December.

[wiseheart]

Progress is progress. :) And you have time to find the right design for the December project.

[badly_knitted]

Indeed I do.

[syderia]

Any progress is good progress.

[badly_knitted]

Very true.

[darkcedars]

Good luck figuring out what to adjust for thread.

[badly_knitted]

I do have a couple of old Anchor threads which might do.

[spiralicious]

Good luck. I hope you hear back soon or you have something on hand that will do. That is progress!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! If I don't get a reply today, I'll get the threads somewhere else or work with what I've got. Maybe use the DMC alternatives instead.

Ten out of 14 bunnies-in-the-egg are finished. The remaining four have their faces and their bow ties stitched on; all I have to do is to sew them together. I hope to do that tomorrow, as I want to deliver them on Tuesday, together with the cookie tins.

[syderia]

Go you!

[wiseheart]

Thanks! :)

[badly_knitted]

Excellent progress! I'm sure everyone will be delighted!

[wiseheart]

I hope so, after all the work I've put in both projects. ;)

[darkcedars]

Great, nearly there. What cookies are in the tins? Now I want to make cookies.

[wiseheart]

Ten different sorts, in fact. I'll post a photo when I've made the festive arrangement - assuming the iPad cooperates.

[spiralicious]

Excellent work!

[syderia]

No crochet on Thursday or Friday, I think the week's tiredness caught up with me
Today, though, the weather was very springlike (it hailed at some point), so I spent the afternoon watching sports and crocheting.
I did seven teal squares, finishing with them, and the first mustard yellow square.

[badly_knitted]

Wooo! You made up for your no-crochet days, didn't you!

Weather here has been similar, gusty winds and sudden, icy showers. Definitely a day for staying in.

[darkcedars]

That is good progress, and just the weather for it.

[wiseheart]

It's never wrong to take a much-needed break. You've more than made up for it today.

[spiralicious]

Very nice!

[darkcedars]

Another heavy cleaning day. I'm mostly done but for washing rugs and curtains.

[badly_knitted]

Sounds like you've been working hard! Go and put your feet up.

[wiseheart]

Oh dear, that sounds really unpleasant!

[spiralicious]

You have been busy! Hope you have a good rest at some point.

[spiralicious]

I knitted today! Not much else to say there, worked on the hat while settled in with this week's Svengoolie. They showed Dan Curtis' Dracula (1974).

[badly_knitted]

Yay, knitting and Dracula!
