Check-In Post November 7th 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!

The last lolly stick snowflakes for this season

[wiseheart]

I hope I won't post this in the wrong place again!



Alas, the illumination wasn't the best, so all the silver star outlines appear in white. You'll have to believe me that there are gold ones and silver ones. :(

These are so lovely! How many do you have now?

Thanks. :)

After a few false starts, I've crocheted ten sets of mouse ears, which means I have 11 more to do (because of the lumpy mouse I made first). Couldn't remember how I'd done them originally so it's been a bit trial and error, but I think the ears I've made should work out.

[wiseheart]

You've been very industrious. And yeah, it's annoying if one forgets how things were done in the past and has to figure out everything from the beginning again. I've been in that place more often than I'd like to remember.

[badly_knitted]

Thank you!

It's because the ears in the pattern were knitted and looked wrong to me so I designed better ears using crochet instead, but never wrote down what I did. I also had to remember how to crochet, lol!

[alafaye]

Very nice.

[badly_knitted]

Thank you!

27 snowflakes, 8 angels, 12 sparkly paper stars and about nine or so lolly stick stars. Since the annual Christmas charity fair at school has just been cancelled, they'll have to serve a term on our own Christmas tree.

[badly_knitted]

That's quite a selection!

Such a shame the charity fair has ben cancelled though. You'll have a very pretty tree!

[wiseheart]

A shame indeed. But we couldn't manage safe distance, so...

[badly_knitted]

Yes, it's necessary right now to obey restrictions and keep everyone safe. Maybe next Christmas it will be better.

[alafaye]

Well at least you're ahead of next year?

[wiseheart]

That's what I thought last year when the fair was cancelled for the first time.

I managed to add some rows to the scarf for sibling and also dug out my watercolors to try my hand at that. Which so far I like working with, but I'll see later

[badly_knitted]

Yay for scarf progress.

Hope you have fun with the watercolours!

[althea_valara]

Two rows on the blanket yesterday. Four today. Plus a few rounds on the hat I'm crocheting. Now I fall into bed; we set our clocks back today and the time change is rough on me.

[badly_knitted]

That's great progress!

Our clocks went back on Halloween. At least the fall time change means an extra hour in bed. The spring one is the worst for me because I lose an hour, but it still upsets people's routines. I hope you get reoriented quickly after this time change.
