Check-In Post July 11th 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!

44 rows of raglan shaping and the back is done! I think.

Woot, great progress! Congrats!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! Just the front to knit now, and then I can start trying to put the pieces together. Just hope they fit!

Thanks! Just the front, the neckband, and the sewing up still to do.

You are a knitting machine!

[badly_knitted]

I'm better than a knitting machine *grins* Tried one, didn't like the results. Hand-knitting is best.

Today has been rainy and cool so it's been a perfect day to curl up with some crafts.

* I did two rows on the blanket.
* Made a coaster with the sunset yarn
* Finished the body of the rat, and am on the tail.

I wanted to share a picture of the coaster but the internet won't load on my phone, which is what I use to take photos. So I'll try again tomorrow.

Rainy days are indeed ideal for crafting. Sounds like you got a lot done! Yay for the rat, he's comoing along fast.

Looking forward to pictures when you can post them.

[medievalrosalie]

I'm hoping for pictures of the rat, actually. :)

[wiseheart]

Me, too!

No crafting today because I had to email a lot of libraries about talks I'm doing over the next few months and that took ages. Website files are transferred but I need a solid hour to upload the html files and then update the registry. So, not today since work was a bit full on for a Monday.

[badly_knitted]

So busy! I hope your talks will go well!
