Check-In Post - November 21st 2024

[badly_knitted]

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: No question this week.


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!

Back to arm warmers again, and I knitted 20 rows on the first of a new pair. I got two balls of royal blue and I'm hoping to make myself three shorter pairs, because sometimes I want something that covers hands and wrists but doesn't go too far up my arm.


I aways start a new ball from the inside, and this one had two joins in the first foot, which wasn't a good start, but hopefully the rest will be better.

Wow! How many pairs are that by now?

[badly_knitted]

Heaven knows, probably at least thirty for myself, lots of different colours to go with different outfits.

I need to get the ones I made out of the back of the drawer, it's very chilly today.

[badly_knitted]

Wrap up warm!

We mad it to 1C today after -4C last night. Tomorrow it might reach 3C, then shoot up to 15C with heavy rain and strong winds by Saturday. I'm getting whiplash!

I finished knitting a hat. Can/should we show off pictures of our projects here?

[wiseheart]

Absolutely! Visuals are always cherished. :)

[badly_knitted]

Yes, please do! You can post pics in comments, or make a post of your own, which is totally allowed even though hardly anyone does it.

One more cat-in-the-sack gift box today. Too many other things interfered with my crafting plans.

[badly_knitted]

Every little bit helps!

[darkcedars]

I need less chores too! XD

Did a few stitches on the doily, and determined I'm too tired for fine work. Might work on dishcloths after dinner.

My husband's family wants to have our holiday thing on Dec 8, so I will need to move my butt to get some projects finished and out of the way.

[badly_knitted]

Always best not to do anything that requires concentration when you're tired. You could probably make dishcloths in your sleep by now.

Good luck with completing projects!
