Check-In Post September 1st 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!

Got another 12 rows done on the sweater, and there's still a bit of yarn left of the first ball. Not enough for a full pattern repeat, probably only three or four rows.

Not sure whether to knit the last bit up or start a sleeve first...

[wiseheart]

Decisions, decisions... Still, 12 rows is a handsome number.

[badly_knitted]

The knitting is past 15 inches now... Still hoping I can avoid having to undo it and start again...

[peaceful_sands]

Well done on continuing your forward progress (still have fingers and eyes crossed for you).

[badly_knitted]

Thanks!

Your cross stitch must be racing along *jokes*

No crafting today, but I baked a cake; a wobbly peach tart with marzipan filling.

[badly_knitted]

Ooooh, so yummy!

[wiseheart]

Oh yes! :)

[peaceful_sands]

Sounds good to me.

[wiseheart]

Baking is really therapeutic.

No crafting today - had a bad headache by the time I finished work and ended up trying to sleep it off for a while - it's just clearing now and I'm going to try and get some more sleep. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

[badly_knitted]

Headaches are the worst for any kind of crafting that needs to be focused on. Hope more sleep will get rid of it.

Maybe you should uncross your eyes?

[wiseheart]

Hopefully you'll have a good night. Sleep is so important!

Hi. I haven't been around because I pretty much lost my crafting mojo. :( I just haven't been in the mood to do much creative stuff lately.

I did post my usual monthly crafting post in my journal, here:

Most of it has already been posted in comments here before, but I did draw a picture last week that you haven't seen yet! I cannot draw very well, so this was rather huge for me.

But yeah... lost my crafting mojo, boo. I'm hoping it returns soon as I do have things I wanted to get done by end of year.

[peaceful_sands]

Sorry to hear you've lost your mojo - hopefully you'll get it back soon and be able to pick up your projects enthusiastically once more.

[badly_knitted]

That sucks for you and I hope taking a break from crafting will restore your mojo to its usual vigour. We're here to commiserate with you until it does, then celebrate with you once you're crafting again.

Well done with the drawing! That's way better than I could do these days! I think stick figures are my limit.

[wiseheart]

Sending good crafting vibes your way!
