Check-In Post November 17th 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!

I'm knitting two sweater sleeves at the same time so it feels like I'm making slow progress, but really it's going quite well. I'm a tiny bit concerned that I might run out of wool tho. Hopefully this is an illusion caused by the two-at-a-time thing.

[smallhobbit]

That's good going though - and you'll be pleased when you finish both sleeves together.

[glinda]

Yes! I’m looking forward to the satisfaction of ‘so much done’ when I get there but in the meantime…

*cheers you on with your sleeves*

I sympathise, I was having that problem making my last sweater. It's very worrying when it looks like you might not have enough wool to complete a project. I hope you'll find there's plenty. It can be really hard to judge.

[glinda]

There *should* be plenty, I should have spare wool left at the end going by yardage, but I always get the fear when I’ve had to do yarn substitution! :s

[badly_knitted]

I get the fear every time I start a new project for myself knowing I only have five 100g balls of the colour and dye lot. I start worrying Will there be enough... The fear never really goes away until the sweater is finished.

[peaceful_sands]

Fingers crossed that you make it through.

[wiseheart]

At the *same* time? How many hands do you have? *is baffled*

[glinda]

No extra hands, just a very long needle! (I’m knitting flat on a circular needle, but my mum just used to do it on long straight needles.)
