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: Do you have any crafting goals for this year?


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 started a new embroidery project today to ring in the new year!

My crafting goals this year are to keep up with my challenge comms (which basically means one thing started and finished each month), finish some WIPs, and otherwise just enjoy the process and make what I want rather than what I feel like I “should.”

Hooray for new embroidery project! Completing a craft item each month sounds really impressive. I totally agree on making what you want rather than what you 'should'.

I prepared in advance for monthly projects. Small embroidery and cross stitch kits stocked up and also I can usually knit a pair of socks or spin a yarn within the scope of a month. And when all else fails, there’s garter stitch face cloths and dish cloths to be made ^_^ The bigger WIPs (like the dragon cross stitches I’ve been working on for roughly and eternity) will happen in the space in between.

You are amazinbly organized!

With big WiPs, it's always a good idea to have smaller things you can make in between, so you can see things being completed even if the big project seems to be going on forever.

Hooray for a new project! And WIP's are always good to chip away at!

That sounds like an excellent plan! The most important part of crafting is to enjoy what you're working on. It shouldn't feel like a chore.
