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!

Just to prove that I am totally useless at estimating how much yarn I have left, I added another 10 rows to each arm warmer tonight before casting off. I'd thought I only had enough left for 2 or possibly 4 more rows on each... 90 rows is a good length so I'm very happy.

Also in today's news, yes, after it being forecast several times and not happening, it snowed. And no, it wasn't forecast for today. We had quite a blizzard going for a little while, snow actually settled, which won't have done the blossom on the plum tree and the Berberis much good, but it seems to have melted again even though tonight's temperature is supposed to be -2 C but feel more like -7. Ah, April. Last week in was 21 C in March, now it's winter again.

I successfully toasted my final hot cross bun without igniting it, my old skill has returned, just as I've run out of buns. *sigh*

That's great - very satisfying.

Yes, we've had several sudden hail/snow falls.

Shame about the end of the buns, you'll have to find something else!

I'm pleased withe length.

April snow is most unwelcome.

I will, but I don't know what.

Snow again. gosh! I hope your blossoms survive!
I still have a few hot cross buns left but not many...

[badly_knitted]

Nothing looks too bad. There was more snow by this morning but I think it's all melted now.

I only got a pack of four. I can't have a lot of breads and stuff. Much as I love them, they don't love me these days.
