Check-In Post - October 24th 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: Have you ever made something and then had no idea what to do with it?


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!

Argh! Today has just been 1001 annoyances, like opening my laptop and knocking a bunch of stuff down the back of my desk, and accidentally putting the computer into sleep mode instead of shutting down, so I had to turn it back on to turn it off. Then just now, I put the wrong link in this post, changed it to the right one, posted it, checked it, and the link didn't work... mutter mutter.


I did manage to finish knitting the second arm warmer without noticeable mishaps, so that's something. Still got to sew them up though.

Awww, sorry to hear about the annoyances, but some days are just like that. If it's any consolation in the "misery loves company" area, I dropped a carton of eggs yesterday and consequently had to soak a rug, which definitely wasn't on my to-do list.

At least you've finished that arm warmer. Something to be glad about, I guess.

Finally a moderately restful day! Consequently, me-time was put to good use: I've finished another pencil holder and even worked a bit on my little angel figurine - after which I was tearing dried glue flakes off my fingers for hours. *g*

[badly_knitted]

Great progress! And the glue removal is fun ;)

[badly_knitted]

What a nuisance! Eggs are messy.

Now I just have to find time to sew them up...

Today's crafting has been sorting supplies. Yesterday minimal crafting happened -- a few rows of knitting -- because the day was spent rearranging the garage with an eye to moving items from storage back to the house.

[badly_knitted]

A few rows is better than none!

Rearranging the garage sounds like a big job. I hope you managed to get it sorted so you can get at the things you want to move back into the house.

[fred_mouse]

We've made progress -- I've moved some boxes, although until I find what I did with the QR code stickers, they are cluttering up the lounge, because I can't do the documentation of the contents. Bah humbug, etc.

[badly_knitted]

Hopefully they'll turn up soon. If you're anything like me, you put them in a safe place thinking 'I'll remember I put them there' then promptly forgot. Good luck!

[fred_mouse]

I am intimately familiar with the knowledge that one days safe place is a future impossible to remember. Not helped by 'I used these three months ago, and then I've been moving stuff around'.

[badly_knitted]

I still hold up hope that they will turn up, probably when you're looking for something else. That's how it usually goes.
