Check-In Post March 20th 2021

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.


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!

I sewed up the last pair of arm warmers, the navy ones for my neighbours, so no more sewing up until I knit another pair!

Also got an hour in the garden, although it was a lot colder than the forecast claimed. I didn't mind the overcast sky, but could have done without the cold wind blowing in my ear. Anyway, I did some work on the big buddleia, less than half done, but still progress. Spent a while wrestling with part of it because although I sawed through a big branch (about three inches diameter) to the last tiny bit, the darn thing didn't want to let go no matter which way I moved it and I couldn't saw through the last bit because the weight above was trapping the saw blade. I won the fight in the end though. 7 feet of buddleia weighs less than you'd think, but it's a bit unwieldy.

Hooray for sewing up the final pair of arm warmers. And for attacking the buddleia.

Thank you! The sewing up was a menace, but worth it for the cosiness.

The buddleia isn't going down without a fight!

Hooray for sewing up!

Supposed to be warm here tomorrow. I'm hoping to do a *little* pruning.

[badly_knitted]

Thanks, I'm so glad I've done the last pair. For now.

Pruning is good, although when I do it, it almost never ends up being a little... Have fun!

I was thinking to restrict it to the thyme plant.

[badly_knitted]

That sounds like it should be manageable. Unless your thyme is really massive.
