Check-In Post July 2nd 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: What's the last thing someone made for you?


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!

Late posting because I was wrestling with the secret project while I still had daylight to work by. The good news is that I finished the cross stitch, leaving only the backstitch to do. The bad news is that I'm sure I've done some of the stitches in the wring colours. I don't think it will be noticeable though. There are three colours I can scarcely tell apart anyway.


Didn't get out in the garden this morning, but I managed nearly three hours this afternoon and made good progress. It's a shame I didn't take a 'before' picture though. The difference is amazing.

I'm glad you've made such good progress!

Luckily a quick and easy row on the beach cover-up today, because that's all I had time for! Plan is once again to play catch-up on the weekend, hopefully finishing no later than next week.

One row is still great progress! How many are left now?

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! So am I =D

I'm sure no-one will notice if the colours are indeed wrong. Go you!

Did a bit of seaming work on shoulder pad purse #3 and bought some craft supplies. Didn't have time for anything else. Too many mundane things to do.

13!

[badly_knitted]

Every little bit counts though! At least you managed to squeeze in a little bit of crafting.

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! If I can't even be sure, then no one else will notice, lol!

[badly_knitted]

Ooh, magic number!

[wiseheart]

You see? No problem at all!

[wiseheart]

I had to learn putting short time periods to good use. It's a bit unnerving sometimes, though.

Good luck!
