Check-In Post December 25th 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: No question today, I just want to wish you all a Merry Christmas, or Happy Holidays, and thank you all for making this little community such a success!


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 got some more knitting done on my multicoloured arm warmers, but I haven't counted the rows. Probably around 50, going by the length.

My granddaughter was delighted with her jumper!

Yay! Kids aren't always impressed with being given clothes so it's lovely that your efforts ate appreciated!

[smallhobbit]

She held it up to show everyone :)

Merry Christmas to one and all who celebrate!

I officially gave myself the miniature coffee shop. I was telling myself I wouldn't open it today, especially with all the kids' chaos, but, nope, I opened it and it looks fun. I may (or may not) start with the counter tonight. Will post photo tomorrow if I do.

As far as Crafty Christmas, I got two fabulous new jigsaw puzzles from friends, both colourful and cheery. And a homemade bookmark stitched with OKAPI, no less, so I am NOT sharing with my offspring, mine, mine, mine, not yours, and my sons got homemade pillows with their favourite football (soccer) teams. Despite a strange and somewhat horrible year, Christmas is turning out rather good.

Oooh, sounds ;like you got some lovely goodies, especially the personalised bookmark! Hope the building of the coffee shop goes well!

Glad to hear you and yours are having a good Christmas!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

It was! The year was all kinds of horrible, but Christmas turned out all right.

I finally rolled up a skein of yarn I'd gotten to make a scarf for myself. I've had it for two months now.

[badly_knitted]

Yay, progress! You can start knitting it up whenever you want to now!
