Check-In Post June 27th 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!

Managed a full pattern repeat, 32 rows, on the fuchsia sweater. Now my hands and arms hurt but I'm making really good progress.

Has to be said the yarn is not good quality, but the colour is very pretty and the sweater will at least look good, for however long it lasts.

That is most impressive! I'm not surprised your hands and arms hurt. It does sound lovely - looking forward to seeing photos later.

I managed two rows at church today...

[badly_knitted]

Thanks. Not sure how I managed since I'm having another seriously bad day. Got to get up early tomorrow and phone the doctor.

[badly_knitted]

Well done!

[nagi_schwarz]

Thank you! I managed another 10 rows during D&D.:)

Finished one mitt of the pair of fingerless gloves, yay! Also did the swatch for my crocheted top I'm going to make.

[badly_knitted]

You're steaming along now!

[badly_knitted]

Woo! Halfway there on the mitts!

Hope your swatch came out right. It's so great starting a new project.

for the finished Tric trac board which you've probably seen already lol.

Still working on the blue wool surcote but yesterday I came to the horrible realisation that the blue silk surcote that I've just finished making actually isn't needed for the weekend after all and I've spent all that time working on it when I could have been finishing other things.

My tent covid sign and sanitation station is finished for the weekend and I've got a few days off preparing for the festival while outside in the real work, we are looming towards having the festival cancelled and everyone in our city going into lockdown. It will all hinge on the next 36 hours.

[medievalrosalie]

Wow, you really ARE making good progress!

[medievalrosalie]

Fingerless gloves are always nice!

[wiseheart]

It would be a real shame if the festival got cancelled. :(

[wiseheart]

I hope the doctor will be able to help!

[badly_knitted]

The board looks fabulous, but oh no! All that work, I hope it isn't canceled for lockdown.

How annoying that you finished something you don't need for the weekend instead of things you do.

[badly_knitted]

Thanks. I have to concentrate so it's taking my mind off how awful I'm still feeling.

[badly_knitted]

So do I, I've got an appointment for Wednesday.
