Check-In Post October 4th 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!

Did some more work on the hat part of the tapestry and then started to unpick some of the bits that I'm going to have to change. I was hoping to be able to unpick and end up with some reusable wool so that I could finish other sections, but it's not panning out that way so there will be more unpicking in my future.

Oh, that really sucks =(

Hope there won't be too much unpicking involved.

I've planned it out to keep it to a minimum. It's also changing how I'm working going forward - making sure that I've done the whole of one area of a colour before I tackle another of the same colour, in the preemptive hope of avoiding same again with another shade - it's not always easy to do this as not all of a colour is visible at a time as I roll the frame but I'll get there. I'm very wary at the moment as I know the final part is a large band of one colour at the top of the picture, but hopefully when I get there I'll be able to see if I've got enough of the needed wool and if not go and get more/an alternative before progressing (there are already a couple of inches done but it's better to unpick now than get to an inch or two of the end and find out then I don't have enough as there'll be no option to change to a different shade there)

It will still be heartbreaking to unpick so much of your hard work. I'll keep my fingers crossed you don't have to unpick those couple of inches.

Unpicking is the worst. Ugh.

Oh dear, that's really annoying!
