Check-In Post August 3rd 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!

Too many hours spent on trains yesterday and today, but that did mean I got lots of knitting done four repeats of the cable pattern on each journey so 48 rows in total!

That's a great way to spend a railway journey - it means you have more than just a change of place to show for it!

[glinda]

It’s such a satisfying way to spend a journey. I love crafting on trains.

I always admired people who could do anything on a moving train. I was never be able to do that. Congratulations on your row count!

[glinda]

Thanks! Train is my favourite way to travel, precisely because I can do other things while I travel. I get terribly travel sick on long journeys in buses and in the backs of cars - and once on a ferry, but that involved catching the tail end of a hurricane so I consider it an outlier - so I end up paying over the odds in order to travel by train.

Train is the best way to travel. Not that I travel at all these days.

Woohoo! That's huge progress with cables!

I'm assuming it's a sweater, but what colour? Enquiring minds want to know ;)

[glinda]

It’s a blanket panel - each panel is 30cm/12” square - rather than a sweater so not that impressive but still decent progress.

It’s a patchwork affair, so different squares/panels are different colours, but this one is a nice bright purple!

[badly_knitted]

Sounds like it's going to be lovely and cosy as well as colourful!

Well done on great progress - the benefits of public transport that most people don't consider :)
