Check-In Post - May 28th 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: We all probably have multiple WiPs, but which of yours has been hanging around longest, waiting to be finished?


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!

Row six scales: Done
Row seven scales: Also done
Row eight scales: Guess what
Row nine lattice: Guess What, electric boogaloo.

The photos are of row 7scales/8 lattice but they're what I had around when shouwing off to friends, and now that I know how to do images on dreamwidth I really should show this one off.

Looks great! I love that stitch.

It's looking amazing, and I love the dragon green of the scales!

Looks great! I wish I knew how to do pictures on DW, too.

Handy dandy tutorial. First, upload you picture to your computer, obviously.

Go to your dreamwidth. Click the Home tab under your username, top left of the screen.

Go to Create (top left), and select Upload images. Click and drag the image, or click on Choose File.

Fill in a title and any descriptions you want in the appropriate areas. Click Save Descriptions.

Scroll up and select View All your Images. Beside each image, there will be two links, for Image Embed and Thumbnail Embed. Just copy the link, and paste into your comment, or your post. I use the thumbnail one for comments. People can just click on the picture to see a bigger image. Then just post your comment or post, Voila!

Hope that helps. Let me know if anything doesn't make sense.

Well done - looks like things are going well.

It looks so good! Dragonscale can be really tedious but it looks so good in the end for reals.
