Check-In Post - November 22nd 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!

Another 20 rows on this pair of arm warmers. I don't know yet if I want them to be 60 or 70 rows (I usually do 90 rows, but these are supposed to be shorter).

The 4th little angel is finished, and I'm very happy with the outcome.
Lookie, lookie:



I have some leftover pale purple tulle for a fifth one; after that, I'll stop.

[wiseheart]

You can try them on when you reach 60 rows and decide then. :)

[jasleh]

oooooooooh that's so cute!!!

[badly_knitted]

She's so pretty and smiley!

[badly_knitted]

Well, hold them against my arm anyway. I might do a 60 row pair and a 70 row pair, for variety.

[darkcedars]

Nice! More fluffy hair.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Aw, so pretty!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Progress!

[darkcedars]

Watch you end up at 65 rows.

I made a flipbook for my sister for Xmas. It is like a two-sided photo album of her orchids. It's decorated with orchid stickers and other orchid ephemera.

[badly_knitted]

Arm warmers are the only things I seem to be making crafting progress on recently, lol!

[badly_knitted]

What a lovely idea!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Thank you!

[badly_knitted]

Heee! I only do even numbers, so hopefully that won't happen!

[darkcedars]

Just still working on dishcloths.

I messed around with making a bar to hang my husband's grandma quilt in the foyer.

[badly_knitted]

Good luck, I hope you can construct a suitable bar so the quilt can be on display.

[wiseheart]

Thanks! :)

[wiseheart]

And her wings are askew, but I couldn't fix that. ;)

[wiseheart]

I bought that one ball of yarn for a different angel project years ago, but I think I'll keep using pieces of it until my demise. *sigh* It's just so frigging hard to work with it.

[wiseheart]

Thank you. :)

[wiseheart]

That looks lovely.

[wiseheart]

What a great idea, that will look very nice on the wall.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Thank you!

[badly_knitted]

I'm sure no one will mind.
