Check-In Post September 9th 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!

Didn't do much outside today, just the last bit of moving some dry wood before it could get wet in the rain, and I watched a hedgehog rooting around in the lawn. I probably upset it by moving one of my woodpiles. Sorry, hoggy.

Another 12 rows on my sleeve, I'm maybe two thirds up it now,

[peaceful_sands]

Well done on both types of achievement. I’m sure the hedgehog will forgive you

[badly_knitted]

Thanks. I hope it will. I've seen it twice this year, and before that I hadn't seen one in more than 15 years!

Poor hedgehog! But that's what he gets when moving into other people's garden.

[badly_knitted]

I'm happy to have him in the garden, and there are other woodpiles he can hide in, as well as the compost heap and lots of undergrowth so he should be okay, I hope. I just had to move that one because the tree surgeons will need to get their ladders in.

Tigger is finished (minus outlining and french knots for eyes). Eeyore has a mouth and nose.

[badly_knitted]

Excellent progress!

Sounds like Eeyore is gradually fading into existence, like a gloomy reverse Cheshire Cat!

[peaceful_sands]

Haha 🤣

[badly_knitted]

😊

I know it sounds terminally stupid, but I just realized that you were doing some Winnie-the-Pooh stuff! *g*

[peaceful_sands]

I’m not sure that I ever actually said what the latest kit was to be honest, but it’s from the story where Winnie the Pooh eats all the honey at Rabbit’s and then gets stuck in the rabbit hole so Tigger and Eeyore have to try to pull him out.

[badly_knitted]

When I was little I had a jigsaw of Pooh stuck in the rabbit hole =)

I worked a wee bit on my kiddie oven mitts. #3 is finished and I made good headway with #4. I hope to finish the whole project over the weekend, so that I can turn my attention to Christmas-y stuff.

[badly_knitted]

Well done, and good luck! I'm looking forward to reports on the Christmas decorations.

[wiseheart]

The good thing is: I'm already full of ideas. The bad thing is: there's never enough time to realize more than a small percentage of them.

[badly_knitted]

You can always save some ideas for next year. Let me know if you need more lolly sticks.

[peaceful_sands]

Well done and oooh exciting thinking of Christmas

[wiseheart]

It is *always* exciting to think of Christmas. ;)
