Check-In Post June 9th 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!

Tonight's knitting has been a disaster. I'd done 12 rows before realising I had 3 extra stitches that were throwing the pattern off. I've unpicked 6 rows so far, one stitch at a time because fluffy yarn is so hard to undo, and I still haven't found the source of the extra stitches but I've had to give up for tonight. I'll continue the unpicking tomorrow.

My owl project is finished

And, as promised, here are the pictures. Take a look at them on the front side:



And this is the back view, with the farewell messages for the kids:



Tomorrow I'll take a break, and then return to the kiddie cook-book project.

I missed yesterday's check-in because I was feeling blah. I did get 3.5 rows knitted, but that was it.

Today was really busy. No knitting so far, but I did some baking! Details in my journal, here: https://xnera.dreamwidth.org/1017106.html

I'm planning on knitting now but first I've got to get some protein in me to counteract the sweetness of the cookies.

Sorry I've been absent so long. I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, just... real life and plenty of it. I was reading all the posts for a while but sadly have fallen terribly behind. Hope you have all been having good craft days.
Not much crafting happening here but I got some new papers for my birthday which I picked out on my one trip out into the world (felt so alien going to a shop but my paper trimmer needed new blades so it was deemed essential). They're all Australian birds and flora papers, but done in blues and blacks and pinks and reds. Just the three cards made from them so far. I bought a few other bits and bobs at the local $2 shop before we went back into lockdown as well - glittery hearts, some matching ribbon for my new papers and more stick on jewels. No plans for them yet but each time I go in there, they have new things and never the things from before so I've learnt to buy them when I see them.
