Check-In Post - February 22nd 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: What kind of crafting supplies can you never resist buying?


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!

Wrote up notes on the crochet flower trivets. I want to use up my stash of the yarn this year. Left is when it is finished crocheting, right is when it's been felted.



I am currently working on a pale purple version and watching Babylon 5. :D

[badly_knitted]

So amazing! Both look brilliant, but I suppose the felted one is more suited to purpose.

[marinarusalka]

Oh, wow! These look fantastic!

[wiseheart]

Oh, lovely! And, of course, Babylon 5 can be very inspiring. I'm a fan myself.

Where are you up to watching B5? I'm nearing the end of season 3 on my current re-watch.

[darkcedars]

I'm in season 1 still, though I watched a couple of the movies first.

[badly_knitted]

In the Beginning and The Gathering by any chance?

B5 is my favourite SF show of all time, I re-watch at least once a year.

[darkcedars]

Yes! I was just going to watch the movies, because I think I may not seen them all. Then I thought "why not make it a whole watch through." I also have DVDs of Crusade and haven't watched that in ages.

[badly_knitted]

I'm still missing DVD of some of the movies (got them on video tape), but I've got the first two, I think they're my favourite of the movies anyway. I've got Crusade now as well, but I haven't watched it yet. Planning to after I finish my current re-watch =)

They're so cute.
