Check-In Post - December 18th 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: What's on your holiday wish list this year?


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!

Left is the first one I made. I *love* it. I think the angle from leg to foot is perfect. Middle is the second one and it's really big in the foot and I really don't like it, but am wondering if it's good enough to gift. Right is the third one, it's not as cute as the first one but I think it is okay enough. I do want to duplicate stitch the area right by the heel flap, there's loose stitches so it's pretty much a hole.

It'd save me some time and grief not to have to rip back and redo the middle stocking, or knit a replacement. So what say you: good enough to gift?

My goal was to get a stocking done today, and I did, so yay! I would have liked to get more crafting done, but I've been going pretty hard lately and needed a nap today. Also, mom does insist on dragging me to the gym twice a week, so that cut into my time as well.

But tomorrow I should be able to pretty much craft all day. I did more cleaning today, and there's a bit more cleaning to do to prepare the space for my new laundry sorter, but the sorter isn't coming until Friday and I probably won't be able to assemble it until Saturday, so yeah, I have some time yet to finish the cleaning.

middle one looks fine to me, I'd say good enough!

Definitely good enough to gift! It's very cute! I see why you like the first one best, but nothing wrong with the others at all.

[wiseheart]

I completely agree!

:) I think they're fine. The middle one is for someone with a very wide foot.

I think they all look really cute, and it's good that they aren't completely identical. A bit of careful stitching on the wrong side should fix the issue where the stitches are a bit loose on the third one.

Good luck with the cleaning project, you can do it!
