Check-In Post July 6th 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 managed another 32 rows in the end, but halfway through I dropped a stitch in one of the blackberry stitch panels and it started unravelling. The one place I couldn't just pick up the stitches and fix the problem. I had to unpick about 5 rows stitch by stitch before I could stop it unravelling.

I've decided to make two to four drawings each day this month. It will take a long time until I'll have all the ones I might want to try, but then I'll have the exact measures, the numbers of the popsickles and the extras down for use, which will make the process so much easier! A friend of mine is planning to do some popsickle crafting with me; so I'll just put out my exercise book and we can choose which item to make.

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!

All that cleaning and clothes fittings knackered me out though. I was so sweaty and dusty afterward I showered again and now I'm crashing on the couch. Figuring out which work clothes can go in the new space is a job for tomorrow. Of the two bars, I've got almost one whole bar free. Nto sure I've got the energy to do the same with the tallboy drawers full of tops, but that's less pressing. Mostly I know the tops are just too short now and I prefer longer cuts. No idea how I used to wear short t shirts with those jeans. My whole back end must have been flying out in the wind!

I've been heavily distracted by the whole hoping to have my medieval brooches produces so I can make some pocket money selling them.
