Check-In Post August 14th 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!

I've been inspired as to the next part of the second coaster, which is good. And I'm working on the pattern for the square for my throw, which is another where it would be easy to lose track of where I'm at. I'm colouring in each row as I knit it, having decided I probably won't be repeating these squares.

I've also sorted out a new home for my cross stitch materials since I shall need the space they were in for the wool for granddaughter's cardigan, since I've ordered rainbow colours, plus unicorn colours. I've also ordered a couple of magazines (special editions), one cross stitch, one multiple crafts, which will give me more ideas for things I can do once I've finished all the things I'm currently doing ...

Great to hear that you’re feeling inspired for your coaster and progressing with your throw.

Ah, the continuing trials of storing the right projects in the right places!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. I'm acquiring more and more craft materials. Which is good but demands space!

[badly_knitted]

My goodness, you're so busy and organised!

Marking off rows certainly helps when keeping your place. I can't do that with my charts in the magazines as I need to do the rows repeatedly, so I have to cover the rows above the one I'm knitting with a piece of paper. Not ideal but it's working okay.

Hope you get lots of inspiration from your magazines!

[smallhobbit]

Not sure about the organised, more a case of needing to find the space and having sudden inspiration as to what I could do.

Yes, this is one chart for a square, so it's easy.

[badly_knitted]

You still sound more organised then me *grins*

[wiseheart]

Wow, you've been busy!

[smallhobbit]

There were a few things which needed doing, so it was good to actually get on and do them!

[medievalrosalie]

It's always nice to tidy and find homes for things! The new wool and magazines will be great too!

[smallhobbit]

I needed to tidy so I have room for when the new wool arrives. The magazines will no doubt give me ideas for more things I don't have the time for!
