Check-In Post - December 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, but HAPPY HOLIDAYS!


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!

They look comfy for cats! You've made A LOT!

I hope so, too. The numbing wore off right around the same time my big Wool Warehouse order arrived so I've got a stash to get through!

[badly_knitted]

Great that your delivery was timed just right! Now you can decide what you're making and get started!

[wiseheart]

Thank you, I'll give it a try... as soon as I've gathered my courage that always leaves me when I have to do something with the dratted PC.

[wiseheart]

Wow, that's a lot of cat beds - and they look lovely, too.

I posted about the baby blanket I've been working on!

I also just got a big order from Wool Warehouse that's calling to me... I hope your nerve block does its job!

That's a very cool story, and a great use for vintage baby yarn. The pattern looks cosy. Hopefully baby and parents will appreciate your gift.

Thank you! I love finding the story behind vintage yarns.

[badly_knitted]

Take heart that it's not as difficult as it sounds. Mostly it's just ticking boxes and clicking a button. You can do it! I know you can, because I can.

Re: baby blanket in progress

I have some myself, but I know where they came from because I bought them myself, 30 to 40 years ago... *grins* I really don't need to buy more yarn, but I still do sometimes. Yarn is addictive.

Happy to have you joining our merry band!

Most cats seem to like them. A few are indifferent, but they're cats and have their own minds and opinions.

[mrs_sweetpeach]

I've been making them since 2011, so that's not *too* surprising! :-)

[mrs_sweetpeach]

Thank you! In 2025 I'm hoping to finish 52, one per week. That doesn't seem like an overly ambitious goal. Who knows though, life can be surprising.

[badly_knitted]

That's a lot time of crocheting. I wonder how many balls of yarn you've gone through...

Re: baby blanket in progress

[mrs_sweetpeach]

That's a pretty stitch! And a great use of vintage yarn.

Re: baby blanket in progress

[yarnandglue]

Thank you! It's been a good pattern for TV watching!

[sister_raphael]

Very Late to the Party here, but I hope you all had a nice Xmas and Boxing days! It looks like you all spent the day well.

Re: baby blanket in progress

[sister_raphael]

Just subscribed to you, I hope that's okay. :)

[sister_raphael]

Glad you're getting some relief!

[sister_raphael]

Mindless is nice sometimes!

[sister_raphael]

That sounds great!

[sister_raphael]

Looking forward to Hedgehog Plushy! :) Sounds really cute!
