Check-In Post - February 4th 2025

[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: Have you ever made a Valentine gift or card?


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!

My growing herd

Behold the handsome elephant ladies!

Here is Fanny:



Following her Fleur:



And last but not least Ellie:



The funny thing is, I made all three using the same pattern, and they've still turned out slightly different. I'll definitely return to the first version of the ears; they hold their shape better that way.

They're all so adorable! Different fabrics do change the look of things though.

Re: My growing herd

[wiseheart]

Yeah. And the fact that I'm simple incapable of making identical things. *g*

Re: My growing herd

[badly_knitted]

Who would want them to be identical anyway? They have their own personalities.

Mum has already claimed the grey one as her 93rd birthday gift. So that one will stay with us. The rest is going to friends and family with small children.
