Check-In Post January 1st 2021

Hello to all members, Happy New Year 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: It's the start of a brand new year, so what are your 2021 crafting goals?


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!

Swatched for a second set of mittens yesterday and quickly realised the yarn is alllll wrong and it was the same yarn line I was going to use for a scarf that also won't work how I though, but have instead found a lovely lace scarf that should work out okay in it instead I think. That'll teach me to buy pretty yarns on sale without thinking about the fibre content though.

This year I'm hoping to keep up the knitting and continue branching out into bigger projects and new techniques. If I could maintain my knitting trajectory from 2020 I'll be a very happy camper. I also have a bunch of embroidery things I bought late last year and still haven't put to use, and I want to work on my handsewing and mending skills.

Ha, will it though?

My sewing skills are terrible. Another thing I should do this year is decide what in the sewing pile just needs to go.

I can only hope! (no it absolutely will not, haha)

Oops! Ah well, the new adventurous project sounds like fun!

Those sound like excellent goals. You can do it!
