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 10 sweater rows, so that's now 4 complete pattern repeats! It's growing quite fast.

Took the day off from anything garden related today - it was supposed to rain, but then it didn't, so I did have to water my flower / seedbed. Got to do some sorting, sweeping up, and tidying to organise a place to put pots to sow some seeds in, so that's my next task. Maybe I'll start that tomorrow... Depends on the weather.

I did a bit of cross stitch, but then realised I'd slipped sideways in the pattern - I'm at the beginning so it's harder to tell - so had to unpick and redo.

Alas, I haven't been doing any crafting of late, but I do read the posts every night and cheer everyone on!

Worked a bit more on the baby blanket today in between laundry loads. Husband & I started marinating a brisket to be cooked tomorrow.

This is a photo from last night that I just hadn't put in a shareable place yet, so you can all see the yarn.

Did no crafting today, but planned a future sideless surcote in silk for a friend to wear in July for a Knighting ceremony, so that will be underway soon.

My kitty had her yearly vet check up today and was pronounced healthy and well (if not a bit chubby) and now she's almost 9, she's 52 in people years, which is the closest we will get to being the same age. We celebrated by going into the garden and staring intently at the part of the fence where a rat runs across at dusk, which is her very favourite thing to do right now. The rat ran. The kitty was deliriously excited. The fairy lights came on. It was pretty magical.

Again at the end of the night I pulled out my wheel and got about 20 minutes in. It doesn’t feel like much, but it’s adding up.

Garden continues to get attention, mostly weeding right now. I think we’re going to need to source more potting soil before I can carry on with the patio plants.

I did some rounds of knitting and started a new granny square for my crochet project :)
