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!

I finished my last two projects for Nerdopolis today! First, a papercraft flower. Here's the video I was following:

And mine, which I think came out more like a NAILED IT! than I had hoped, but hey, it counts for imaginary points. The challenge was "Spooktacular", and I said: "You know what's scary? Skeletons! They are bone white, just like my papercraft flower."



I also had started a woven coaster. I wanted it in Halloween colors. Well, I made the warp black, which was a mistake because it was very difficult to see the warp threads. I gave up and didn't finish it. Instead I whipped up a crocheted coaster just so I had something to turn in. The challenge was Area 51, which is for finished WIPs, or stuff made with stash yarn. This was a stashbuster, so counts.



I also knit two rows on the blanket. I may do more tonight, we'll see.

The paper flower is wonderful, it looks very exotic, and the coaster is sweet. Yellow is my favourite colour.

Next time to the warp in the other colour and use the black for the weft. Black is hard to work with no matter what you're making. It's why I have two black sweaters languishing - I can't tell where I got to on the pattern.

Yay for more blanket rows!
