Check-In Post October 2nd 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!

Guernsey Wrap

[slightlymotheaten]

This is my first time commenting. I'm new to Dreamwidth and am searching for crafting communities :)

I'm about 3/4 of the way through Jared Flood's Guernsey Wrap. I'm making it with fingering weight yarn so it's a bit smaller than the pattern description. That's fine though - it's plenty big as it is! I'm using a soft and drapey 75% cotton, 25% wool.

Welcome to the club! I'm fairly new here myself, but I can tell you this is a very friendly group of people. :)
I'm not familiar with the craft you're working on, but it certainly sounds interesting.

Thank you! And sorry, I should have clarified. It's a knitted scarf :)

Welcome, so happy you found us!

That sounds lovely, I just looked up the pattern and I love all the different Guernsey stitches that go into it. It's beautifully detailed. What colour are you using?

It's been great TV knitting. I'm working it in a pale gray. :)

That's a lovely soft colour.

It's good to have something to do with your hands while watching TV, although if what I'm watching gets too exciting I forget what I'm doing.
