Check-In Post - November 26th 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 the arm warmer (that's all I can manage in half an hour).


My new freezer arrived just after 3pm. Now all I need is to get some food to put in it. =D

[darkcedars]

That's great. I saw your note about going back to sleep!

[badly_knitted]

I'm very happy with it!

Yeah, I needed to nap a bit. Don't think I would have survived the day otherwise.

[wiseheart]

Yay for the new freezer! Good luck with food hunting.

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! It's only small, because my kitchen is tiny, but it's enough for me.

[darkcedars]

No crafting yet. Might after dinner. About to run an errand and trying to do a little more yard pickup.

I was being unsatisfied with the tree not having any Star Trek ornaments. We do have the Deep Space 9 model in the living room, so I rigged that to be the tree topper.

[badly_knitted]

Excellent compromise, a space station tree topper.

Good luck with your errands and I hope you find time for crafting later.

[wiseheart]

Ooh, a fellow Trekkie!

[darkcedars]

We have a ton of the Hallmark starships and he wouldn't even get them out! He'd better next year or there will be a mutiny.

i worked some on the skirt i'm currently hand-sewing. got darts sewn and the first step of french-seaming the front and back together.

[badly_knitted]

Wow! That sounds very complicated to me (I can't sew to save my life). Well done!

[darkcedars]

That sounds like good progress (to someone else who does not sew).

[wiseheart]

I've finished the stitching of another Christmas card; just the stitching part, though. I'll make the actual card tomorrow and perhaps take a photo, too. ;)

[badly_knitted]

Well done! Looking forward to the photo.

[darkcedars]

How many have you made by now?

[liveonthesun]

ooh i'm looking forward to seeing the card!

[jasleh]

finished color 3/8 of my cross stitch! \o/

next color should be quick (distractions permitting *cough*) 'cause there isn't very much of it

[badly_knitted]

Excellent progress! You'll be halfway through the colours in no time!

[liveonthesun]

congrats!!! how many colors total are you working with?

[jasleh]

8 total on this one!

I finished thinking back my provisional cast on to the sock that I'm working on. Now I just have to find the cast off that I used on the first sock & do it.

Then I can start a new sock!

[badly_knitted]

Woohoo! Good luck on finishing the sock and stating a new pair!

The scarf is over 80 cm long maybe even one meter? now, and I'm temporarily mad at the friend I'm knitting it for but I still bought a new ball of purple yarn and keep on knitting it; it needs at least 20 to 30 cm more and I *will* do it.

[badly_knitted]

I'm sure you will, and hopefully you'll get over being mad at your friend.

You're doing great with the scarf!
