Check-In Post April 17th 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: We all make mistakes - what's your most memorable crafting disaster?


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!

Ampullae???

You've done a lot of work - go you!

Ampullae are "tube feet" on a starfish that helps them move about. For this pattern, they are just crocheted circles: 5 small, 5 medium, 5 large, so 3 on each arm of the starfish. The pattern calls for eyes and a mouth to make it look cute, but I'm leaving those off. I wanted the ampullae though for some bonus color.

Still looking for my tapestry needle, sigh. I do love to misplace those...

Oh, I see. Sounds interesting. I only ever made starfish out of felt; and only small ones. I used beads for their arms.

I hope you'll find your tapestry needle. I tend to misplace my tools, too, and then waste ungodly amounts of time looking for them. :(
