Check-In Post October 2nd 2021

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!

Trip to the craft shop was frustrating - big gap in the display of tapestry wools round the colours I was looking for so limited choice, unhelpful staff (I don't mind the answer 'I don't know if/when more stock will arrive' when it's delivered courteously -'nuff said on that and we won't get to the comments to me about people 'overreacting to possibility of' catching Covid while I was standing there in a mask), bought a similarish colour and now have a decision to make - do I go with the newly bought colour which means unpicking some of what I've done or do I wait till end of the month and see if I can get something closer when I go to UK. My problem is I don't know what colour it is in terms of anchor number as it's lost its cover so no possibility of ordering online for this one.

As I left in the rain and a bit of a grumpy mood (quite a lot of one but not just due to experience in there), I thought of somewhere else I could try, so walked all the way to the other possibility in the increasing rain only to get there as they locked the door and flipped the closed sign over so I still don't know if they even sell tapestry wool.

I was not in the mood to craft by the evening - but sulked in front of the TV for a while instead - kidding about the sulking but not the lack of crafting. I actually spent a bit of time searching the lovecrafts website.

Very frustrating! And the colours shown online don't always match the actual colours due to screens etc. I hope you can find what you're after.

Finding the right colour for anything can be a real pain. Especially if the staff is unhelpful. I don't know if someo e doesn't like to deal with people why don't they choose a job where they won't have to!

Unhelpful staff annoy me, especially when they're rude. Their job is to help customers! And everyone should be concerned about catching Covid. I wear a mask when I answer the door!

It sucks that you arrived just as the shop closed, especially after walking in the rain =(

You can make a post here at the community asking if anyone has any anchor tapestry wools they could let you have. Even though you don't know the number you want, you might get something usable that way.

You could also try to get hold of an Anchor tapestry wool colour card, which might help you figure out which colour you need. You should be able to get one from Anchor themselves, although you'd probably have to pay for it.
