Check-In Post June 18th 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!

I have attached both sleeves and got everything pinned to sew up the sleeve seams!

As I'm sure any of you who have made an adult sized sweater, even a small one like mine, know, this entailed wrestling a lapful of sweater parts, trying not to stitch the wrong bits together or stitch it to myself. It's a bit like wrangling an octopus, or so I would imagine, but I was successful!

I tried my hand at some original plushes this week and while it's probably that whole thing where amateurs don't know enough to know what they've done wrong, ngl, I am pretty proud of my lumpy blobby little dudes right now.

I am starting the 12th row of diamonds on the entrelac project (last night I had 6).

Oops. I haven’t been checking in.

Things I’ve done recently:
Daily gardening
Gathered elderflower and made several bottles of cordial
A bit of embroidery, but not much

Lots of progress with the kiddie cookbook. I'll link the pictures when I'm back at my desktop PC tonight.
