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!

More knitting on the new socks last night. I pulled out some sparkly sock wool I've had for many, many years. To be honest, though, almost all my yarn I've had for many, many years. I went through a fallow period on knitting and haven't added more than a couple of new skeins to my stash in several years. On the other hand, I have purchased a fair bit of spinning wool in the last year or two... but I've spun even less!

In any case, I've got enough wool in various forms to last me years, so I just can't bring myself to buy more until I've emptied at least a couple of these plastic bins XD They may just all get converted to socks at this rate...

Nothing wrong with having lots of socks!

Nothing wrong with having a big yarn stash either. Most of mine was bought over 20 years ago...

Socks are always useful!
