Check-In Post October 12th 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!

Mum found some gift bags that can't be used for their original purpose because they are torn. One had a nice pattern of solver snowflakes and stars, so I decided to give this a try:

paper stars

I made the individual parts without much difficulty, but when they were all done, I could only fit five of them into one motif. So now I've got a 5-pointed star instead of a 6-pointed one, and I can't for my life figure out what went wrong. Ah, well, it looks well enough with five points, too. I'll take photos when there will be at least two of them.

They look like fun to make.

[wiseheart]

They seem so easy, and they actually aren't that complicated - until you start putting the individual parts together.

[badly_knitted]

Those are so cool! I like five point stars better anyway.

[wiseheart]

I like both versions, but I like things to end up what they are supposed to be, not what I've mcgyvered together in an hour of despair. ;)

[badly_knitted]

Yes, I know that feeling. It's so frustrating when you can't figure out WHY it's not working the way it's supposed to, but hopefully you'll solve the mystery.

They're pretty nice stars. I'd think 5 pointed ones would be nice too!

[wiseheart]

I've no problems with 5-pointed ones - unless I've made all 6 parts and now can't fit them together! *is frustrated*

Those are really cool. I think they'd look jsut as good as five pointed stars.
