Check-In Post September 7th 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!

Another long and tiring but productive day out in the garden. The weather was glorious, sunny and hot. I wish it could stay like that for a few weeks, summer has been so wet and chilly, but there's only one more good day forecast.

Another 12 rows of sleeve knitted. Progress is slow but steady.

[smallhobbit]

Hooray for 12 more rows and for time in the garden!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! I've been seriously relishing this brief hot spell. It's good to not be cold.

[wiseheart]

Progress is slow but steady.

And that is the important thing!

[badly_knitted]

True, speed is not required.

[peaceful_sands]

Well done. I hope getting the quote was equally good.

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! I won't be getting that until tomorrow (Weds), but I'm hopeful. The person who comes to look will at least be able to get at the tree without getting tangled in brambles, overgrown rambling roses, ivy, and honeysuckle.

[medievalrosalie]

Really getting through it all!

[badly_knitted]

Still got a long way to go on the first sleeve.

[smallhobbit]

The unicorn on the back of the cardigan is finished, so it's now straightforward to the top.

[wiseheart]

Yay, unicorn! You've worked really hard, it seems.

[smallhobbit]

I want it done for Christmas, so need to get on with it.

[peaceful_sands]

Well done- sounds like things are progressing well

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. So far so good!

[badly_knitted]

Well done! You are so fast knitting with more than one colour! I've never been any good at that, I stitch the design on after.

[smallhobbit]

I had all the balls of wool on a little table to avoid getting them muddled!

[badly_knitted]

So organised! You're amazing.

[medievalrosalie]

Unicorn done! Yay!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you.

More work on Tigger - misread the pattern and had to unpick a chunk before heading onward 🤦 also did some of the outline on the other pattern

[badly_knitted]

Argh! It's horrible when that happens. Hope you're sorted now! The outlining was probably a relief after the hassle of unpicking.

[peaceful_sands]

It’s all the quarter stitches that are making it so tricky. Still Tigger’s stripes are probably three quarters done now and I’m hoping the rest will be more straightforward.

[badly_knitted]

Quarter stitches are a nightmare. I avoid them like plague. Keeoping my fingers crossed for you!

[smallhobbit]

That's frustrating. And so easily done.

[medievalrosalie]

At least you caught it before it was finished.
