Check-In Post July 5th 2021

[badly_knitted]

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!

Plodded my way through another 32 rows on sleeve two while watching the last episodes of Babylon 5. Took longer than usual because I couldn't always see what I was doing.

I'm currently wishing my life choices had included rather less ssk. Sigh. It takes three times as long as k2tog! Never mind, the Reyna is making good progress.

Did a few rounds on the fingerless mitt.

Also, a few rounds on the sun hat.

Started an embroidery project! It's my very first time doing embroidery. I picked up the kit from my library for FREE about a month ago. I fear all the French Knots I'll have to do -- I've tried them in the past and could never figure them out.

But mostly, played video games today. Think I needed the break.

On a roll with crafting and enjoying this week off work. Seems a fair recompense for the year from hell, and on a higher pay grade thanks to my promotion.
I quite like the little routine so far: lazy toast in bed, dabbling on the internet/writing until 10, shower, crafting until lunch, break/more writing/more crafting, dinner, whatever, bed. A shame it isn't permanent!
Up to 24 mini cards since Saturday. Promise photos when the light is better.

I'm really hoping to get some medieval brooches cast from my collection so I can sell them and I've been talking with a guy about making them. Super excited as a bit of pocket money would be good, and I will be able to tie them into my book promotions as well for special events, like Valentine's day or whatever. Spent a bit of time today sending measurements and hi res photos and talking about finishes etc. Fingers crossed this pans out.
