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?

Note:/ I'm just jumping in for [personal profile] badly_knitted while she is having computer problems. Therefore the daily check-in posts might lack certain details. Please, bear with me, and happy crafting!

(Okay, for some reason my icon doesn't show up, but that isn't the main problem here, right?)

Hi!

I am a new member as of a few seconds ago.

I did work on some latch hooking (rug hooking, and it's of a few cacti in a pot or three) today at my occupational therapy session. I don't know why I find it easier to work on something where there are people around instead of 2 cats, but I do. Does anybody else have the same issue?

Hello, and welcome aboard, very happy to have you here!

I used to do some latch hook work, I have a mostly finished small rug somewhere but I ran out of rug wool. Yours sounds very cool, cacti are such fun.

I'll craft anywhere, with or without people, but as I live alone I'm mostly a solitary crafter. It can be a lot of fun crafting with like-minded people though.

I like both crafting in a group and solo. Sometimes I just want to have quite and focus on what I'm doing. Sometimes I like it to help dim the stimulation in a bigger group setting (I get overwhelmed easily). I used to run monthly crafting days at my home, but that was several years (and a few homes) ago. I'd like to get something going here again once we start meeting more people...
