Check-In Post July 15th 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!

Another 32 rows done, including the first 16 rows of the raglan shaping. I'm getting there!

Wow - you really are doing well!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! At this point all that's keeping me going is grim determination. I'll be so happy when it's done.

*cheers you on!*

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! Feels like I'm in the home stretch now...

I've been absent for a few days as I did more crafting in my MMO than I did in real life, oops. (reached level 40 of 80 in all crafts, yay!)

BUT! I have JUST finished the rat! Here he is:



And here's the promised pic of the sunset coaster I did a few days ago:



Now I'm going to try to finish my weaving project before dinner.

The coaster is lovely, and the rat is adorable! Great work!

[verdande_mi]

Love the colours of the coaster!

[althea_valara]

Me too! I might have enough yarn to squeeze out one more coaster. The yarn is Lily Sugar n' Cream (kitchen cotton) in colorway 19741 Playtime. I got it as a gift from a fellow Dreamwidth user and I've really enjoyed it because it's so cheerful.

I finished the last few granny squares for a blanket I am crocheting for my niece. It still needs to be put together, but much of the work is done. :D

[badly_knitted]

WOOHOO! Well done, I'm sure your niece will love it.
