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!

I finished the new expansion in my MMO on Friday, so I have slowly been getting into crafting again. Tonight the game is in maintenance so I have no excuse to do anything else. I've been knitting a simple cowl. I'm on the last color and estimate it will take about 45 minutes to finish. Just taking a small break right now.

I finished my snowflakes a few days ago, but they need to be blocked and starched still.

Finally, I picked up another Take & Make kit from the library. It was wooden bead snowmen ornaments, and I assembled them shortly after getting home.

I'll post pics of the ornaments and finished cowl tomorrow. Too late tonight to get good pics.

Sounds like you've been very productive. I look forward to seeing the photos.

Hope you enjoyed your MMO!

Well done on finishing the snowflakes. Looking forward to pictures of the cowl and your bead snowmen.

I did enjoy the MMO, very much. When I played the expansion before this, I wrote a post in my journal asking if my emotions were broken because I heard so many people had cried at the end of that expansion, and I didn't. But with this current expansion? I spent THREE HOURS crying during the last zone because it was so emotional. It was extremely well done and I don't know how they're going to top this in the future.

Aww, this expansion obviously connected with you better than the last one.

Wooden bead snowmen sound like fun. :)
