Check-In Post October 21st 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!

Busy day! The shed is almost finished, there's one more weatherboard to attach (it wasn't quite dry enough being the last one painted), and some touching up to do.

The floor covering has been laid, it's in pieces but that doesn't matter. The shelf units have been mostly constructed but they're too tall, I can't put the top shelves on =/

Knitting wise, I've done 20 (maybe) rows on the last arm warmer, but I lost count so now I've got to count all the rows, which isn't easy. There should be 140... I'm half asleep though so counting and casting off will have to wait until another day.

Wow! A busy day indeed! You've certainly earned your rest. Counting can wait. :)

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! We got a lot done, including moving a large plastic garden storage unit and two extremely heavy concrete slabs. I'll probably hurt tomorrow.

Great that the shed is almost complete, bad news about the shelves being too tall. Are they adjustable in any way ? Best wishes for having to recount all your rows. Hope you have a restful evening

[badly_knitted]

It really is!

I'm not worried about the shelves, I bought them either for inside the shed, or for around the back of it as storage for firewood logs, if some sort of shelter can be rigged to keep the rain off them. Also thinking of buying two sets that only have three shelves, then I can use the extra shelves on them and have four sets with four shelves. The beauty of this kind of shelf is that they come in several different heights.

Thanks, I'm trying to!

You make me feel tired just reading about what you've been doing.

[badly_knitted]

I've made myself feel so tired I keep nodding off over my keyboard. zzzzzzz

[nagi_schwarz]

Good luck with the knitting. Losing count can be so frustrating. Excellent work with the shed!

[badly_knitted]

I was marking down the rows on a piece of paper, every 2 rows, but then I ended up with an odd number and didn't know if I'd done too many or too few =/

Thanks!

I was making collages at Dare to Dabble this afternoon - I'll post a link to my journal when I've done the entry.

[badly_knitted]

So cool! I love collages =)

[smallhobbit]

Yes, I enjoy making them.

[nagi_schwarz]

Excellent. That sounds like so much fun!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you, it was 🙂

[peaceful_sands]

I look forward to seeing what you've done.

[smallhobbit]

I shall post about it at the weekend I hope.

[nagi_schwarz]

I managed a couple of rows on the knitted dress today.

[peaceful_sands]

Well done.

[smallhobbit]

It's all good progress.

[badly_knitted]

WOOHOO! *Cheers you on*

[peaceful_sands]

Fell asleep before I could even start!

[smallhobbit]

It happens!

[badly_knitted]

Oh dear. Well, sleep happens ;)

You must have needed it.
