Daily Check-In Post 7th March 2021

[pensnest]

Hello everyone, and welcome to the regular daily check-in post, for this week hosted by me, pensnest. 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: Are you (in Normal Times) part of any groups that craft together? eg knit & natter, pottery class etc. What do you get out of it? Will you go back to it once the pandemic is no longer a threat? Have you been able to keep it up on Zoom?

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!

Since I picked up crocheting this past year I've tried to hang out with the virtual knitting groups run through the local libraries, but I'm sadly usually busy with work. I did do painting and some prop work at a local theater sometimes so I think that counts. Probably won't be going back to it though -- moving this year. Maybe I'll find a new one in the new state.

Yesterday I added many rows to the purple/green scarf I've been working on and I'm nearly finished with it now. And today I finished up the cross stitch kit I started a few weeks ago:



Don't know which I'm going to work on next. Maybe I'll try to map out a bookmark now I have a few sea shell patterns from this last project.

That's a very pretty cross stitch! Kudos to you for doing the painting and props, when I was in a local theatre group we had a quiet group of heroes who produced all kinds of amazing things, including a scene painter who was *amazing*. I bet any group would be glad to have you, when you move!

Thanks! And yeah any community theater is always grateful for those kinds of people I've heard enough stories lol.
