Check-In Post April 21st 2021

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 8 rows on my sweater, despite having to knit with a sticking plaster around my finger. Only a tiny cut, but I didn't want blood on my yarn, for obvious reasons.

Spent two hours digging in the garden again, big fork and hand fork. The big fork was my dad's and is older than me. Way too big and heavy for me really, but it's what I've got to work with. At least I've finished my first dig over of my plot. I'll take a break for a day, then start digging it over for the second time, get it ready for planting. I want my pansies and other plants, plus whatever seeds I'm going to sow, in by the end of the month if possible.

I did some counted cross stitch last night during my medieval reenactment Zoom meet. Not terribly medieval, but at the moment I think people just get together to craft and socialize XD

I started a new page to work on big blocks of color, as that definitely seems to be more in line with where my brain is at the moment. I’ll come back to the fiddly bits when I have more braincells....

Getting together online to craft is good, everyone needs to socialise safely. Glad you got some stitching done.

Brain cells do need to take breaks, otherwise we risk wearing them out ;)
