Check-In Post January 6th 2022

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!

Okay, so far my decision to slow down meece production is going really well. Yesterday I made 5, today I finished 6, and knitted another 5 =/

Clearly my brain does not understand the concept of LESS. I blame my OCD, and some real life frustrations and annoyances making me want to knit more. I find it therapeutic.

Maybe tomorrow I can slow down.

Sometimes production takes time to wind down. And it IS good therapy…

[badly_knitted]

So far my production is winding UP, lol!

It is indeed god therapy, which I need at present. Maybe I'll just do what I feel like doing each day, whether that's less or more.

[wiseheart]

That will be probably the best - and the least frustrating.

[badly_knitted]

Yes, I think so. Trying to set goals for myself doesn't seem to work =/

[peaceful_sands]

If you're finding it therapeutic at the moment, I wouldn't worry about slowing down. When it's having a less therapeutic effect or isn't needed for that any more, then you could focus on making less.

[badly_knitted]

Yes, that's good advice. For now I'll just carry on making as many meeces as I want.

[annofowlshire]

This person is wise.

[badly_knitted]

Indeed, I'm following their advice.

[medievalrosalie]

If it makes you happy, then why not?

[badly_knitted]

True. There are other things I want to make, but right now I'm enjoying meece-ing about.
