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!

Grrr, I've fallen out with my knitting!

I miscalculated yesterday, only knitted 28 rows. Today I took a look and realised I'd totally messed up one bit. I knew I'd made a mistake and tried to fudge it yesterday, but it was right in the middle of the sleeve and it looked like the work of a drunken spider. So I had to unpick and re-do 7 rows, then added another 12 to the end of the third pattern repeat.

At least the drunken spider has sobered up; now the pattern looks the way it's supposed to. But I still need at least another 20 rows on this sleeve, probably a bit more than that. Ah well, disaster averted.

That is just plain annoying. Yes, you'd never have been happy with the work of a drunken spider in the middle of the sleeve - had it been right next to the edge it would have been okay. I know there's a mistake in the current square of my throw, but it won't show up and no-one will see it but me - or technically my husband, but he won't notice it.

Exactly! On or near the seam it would have ben hidden. but in the middle near the top of the sleeve >.< It was too glaringly obvious, and I still have no clue what went wrong, just that whatever happened I've fixed it. I guess that's what matters.
