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've been knitting a feather-and-fan scarf in a lovely red-purple-orange yarn.... I'm good and ready to *stop* knitting a feather-and-fan scarf, but I don't want to end up with one that's just a bit too short to be what I need. How long do people think a scarf ought to be?

Have you tried wrapping the scarf round you to get some idea?

[pensnest]

I have, though it's a delicate process while it's still on the needles. And I suppose it will grow when blocked!

It sounds lovely! But yeah, that's why I don't knit scarves. They go on forever.

Lengthwise, I guess it depends on how many times you want it to wrap around your neck.

I've taken to folding a scarf in half, wrapping it round, and posting the ends through the loop these days, but I think the feather-and-fan is pretty enough for me to want to wear it flat and show it off!

It is a lovely stitch that deserves to be displayed so it can be seen.

The sounds very colourful. I'm a fan of long scarves, so I'm not good to ask.

It's turning out very pretty! I'm also a fan of long scarves, but knitting them tends to get a bit dull.....
