Check-In Post December 3rd 2020

[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: Do you follow patterns exactly or adjust them to suit your requirements?


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'm a fiddler, I'm always looking at patterns and thinking 'this could be better if I...' On one knitting pattern it annoyed me that al the cables twisted in the same direction; it wasn't symmetrical so I reversed half of them.

Second pair of arm warmers finished and I'm 52 rows into the first of a shorter pair. I'm thinking 80 rows for the shorter ones. For anyone thinking it's amazing I've done so many rows this evening, I should perhaps point out that I have very thin arms so the rows are only 47 sts for a good close fit.

What's this one, after shocking pink and rose?

A nice blue, lighter and not as bright as royal blue, sort of a mid-blue I guess. =)
