Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, 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!

My friend did my shopping for me and a large tub of yogurt burst in the backpack, all over everything else. Had to unpackage most of the shopping, then mop as much yogurt as I could out of the backpack, turn it inside out, give it another wipe down, and throw it in the washing machine. Just hoping all the yogurt is now washed away.

Congrats on your progress in face of the bad shopping luck.

Of course, she needed help with pinning on the patches, etc. Of course, we disagreed about how it ought to be done. Of course I had to undo all her hard work half an hour later because it didn't work the way she thought it would. Tomorrow I'll try my way, and if it still doesn't work, I'll take it to the seamstress in the new year.

Also, I was voluntold to make another baby blanket for a friend of my mom. Sigh. I've got about 4-5 months to do it, and if it's like the last one I made, mom will pay me for it. I've started the fun part (browsing patterns) but can't say I'm really looking forward to actually DOING it.

Good luck on the baby blanket. Your mum probably thinks she's helping by getting commissions for you. =/

I've started doing center out and self-striping yarns almost every time for baby blankets. They turn out cute and I didn't have to think or change colors or anything.

I'm also perusing the Herrschners catalog that came today. 'tis the season for free shipping.

Free shipping is good, you can spend more on the fun things that way!
