Check-In Post December 16th 2020

[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: Are you easily side-tracked by shiny new projects?


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 very easily distracted. No sooner have I started something than I want it to be done so I can start something else. It's not unusual for me to have multiple projects on the go at the same time.

I haven't done anything yet today, but I'm about to start knitting so I'll check in again later.

70 rows knitted on an arm warmer, and I sewed up the pair I finished a few days ago.

I can be, especially if it is something totally opposite of what I'm working on. If working on an afghan, I will be attracted to a doily. If a doily, may be staring at cardigans.

I haven't been able to work on my doily for a couple days. I just did one round and took a small break. It is a lot of concentration. I'll do a photo for progress later today (2:30pm here).

All the shiny ...

I finished a little Christmas owl today, photo will be posted when I do my own craft post (I'll put a link on here).

I definitely get side tracked. I've started on working two at a time (as I do with books x.x), but I also have small craft kits, the kind for kids, that are easy enough to do within an hour so if I'm distracted it's not for long.

Yes and I have jags where I do a lot and sudden droughts where nothing appeals.

HI HELLO I am very late to the party (and new to the comm! *waves*) but I am a proud member of Project Starters Anonymous. I have many in progress projects, including knitting, crochet, and quilting.

In terms of knitting and crochet, I have told my husband that of course I can have as many projects going as I have project bags, right?!? He thought that was potentially dangerous, but, like, IT MAKES SENSE. (We won't talk about how between my own sewing and purchases, I have three new project bags in the past couple months. Yes, they each have new projects in them.)

Some projects do sit for longer than others, but I *do* work on them regularly, and I do get stuff finished on a regular basis! It's just so fun to start something new...
