Check-In Post March 30th 2021

[badly_knitted]

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!

Another 10 rows, yay!

Also got 2 hours out in the garden. My patch of ground is three-quarters cleared now, hopefully I can finish clearing the weeds off the top tomorrow and maybe even start digging. It was lovely outside. Still March and I was out in the sunshine, bare arms, covered in sunscreen. It was like a summer afternoon.

I've discovered half a dozen aquilegia plants among the weeds, so I'll either pot them up and put them back after I've finished digging like I did last year, or try to work around them.

One curious thing... this morning, when I took my captured spider to the bottom of the garden to set it free, I found I have two cyclamen growing in the lawn! No idea where they've come from, but I'll have to dig them up and put them in my patch of garden when it's ready.

They're growing well. As, apparently, are your plants - even if you weren't expecting them. It was lovely today - I walked to the library to collect a book and had to take my hoodie off to walk back.

I'm used to having violets in my lawn, and geranium phaeum, which started out on the banking and now only grows on the lawn because the seeds ping when they're ripe, but cyclamen is a huge surprise considering I've only ever had them indoors. Spontaneous plant growth is a new one on me.

I don't know about your area, but it should be glorious again tomorrow where I am, 20 C. Then Thursday's forecast says 10 C, back to normal spring weather and the end to my gardening for a while. =(

I'm hoping it's true for us too; I'm planning on washing my duvet cover.

Should be a good drying day!

Pale pink bunny is now complete! One more to go...

Yay! Is there a particular reason for making three?
