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!

Finished the fingerless mitts, woohoo!

I have four rounds left on the sun hat. I'm going to try to finish it tonight, and if not, early tomorrow. I'm logging in to my MMO now, but I can crochet while waiting for Duty Finder queues to pop.

I'll have pictures tomorrow of the finished items!

Bad news: my sunset tumbler cozy was rejected for the Nerdopolis challenge, because I misunderstood the challenge parameters. Boo. But I wasn't the only one who misunderstood, there were at least four of us, so I don't feel TOO bad. Still, it's annoying because it means I need to make another project to fit the theme. Good news: I already have the project in mind and in fact started on it this afternoon.

(For the curious, I thought the challenge was about how you got into your fandom, so I tied my tumbler cozy into the opening scene from Final Fantasy X, which was my first Final Fantasy game. Turns out the challenge was actually not about you, but how the fandom itself got started - i.e., its original source material. So I'm making a rat by a designer whose patterns I love, as the first Final Fantasy game has a quest in which you are to find a rat's tail. Bonus: I get to make another one of Sarah's excellent patterns!

That's frustrating. Still, it means you have an extra Thing available now, and making a rat (!!) sounds like an awesome thing to do!

Yay for finishing the mitts!

Woohoo for gprogress on the sunhat!

Sucks that the sunset casy was rejected, but those are such cute rats, so I'm sure you'll enjoy making one!

That all sounds great, and even if you can't use the sunset tumbler cozy for the challenge, you can still use the item itself!
