Check-In Post March 26th 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!

A bit short of time today, so only 4 arm warmer rows.

Clocks go forward here tomorrow night. Not looking forward to losing an hour of sleep.

Think of all the rows of arm warmer you won't be able to knit!

[badly_knitted]

I know! *whimpers* A whole hour less in my day!

The chick egg cosy is finished.

And today I did some wet felting, making mini eggs. This was a zoom event with the materials sent in advance. There will be pics once I've uploaded them.

Yay for chickie!

That sounds intriguing!

My younger son turned six years old today, and I made a miniature felt cupcake to his specifications. I hope to improve for his brother's birthday next month. This one is kind of lopsided and awkward, but luckily the recipient is a lenient judge.

So cute! I think the lopsidedness just adds to its appeal. I bought myself a small fluffy sheep once. There was a shelf full of them and I picked the wonkiest one I could find. It had more character.

Happy Birthday to your boy!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Thank you! He's had a good day. Yeah, the other felt foods have been flatter. This is by far the most three dimensional. But he liked it!

[badly_knitted]

That's really all that matters.

This week has not been amazing for crafting, but on Thursday I did a little spinning. On Friday a little knitting. And this morning (Saturday) a little bit of gardening before the weather turned.

[badly_knitted]

All those little bits will mount up!

Too cold here for gardening, but I've done a little knitting ;)
