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 managed to get in some "knitting while catching up on streaming to watch lists" time today. I watched 3 episodes of the final season of Grace and Frankie and The Death of Superman animated movie. My scarf is up to about 8 inches now (the pattern switches at 16 inches). I haven't measured and marked it yet.

I also spent around 2 hours helping my mother try to set up her new phone, a half an hour of which was spent on hold with customer service, just to be told they couldn't help us. Fun times.

That sounds -enjoyable and relaxing! You're storming along with the scarf.

Ugh, customer service people are so unhelpful.

Thanks! It is. I should probably go back to doing it at the end of the day. I'm lucky the scarf is simple and I've memorized the pattern at this point, so I can just zip along... And it's a late Hanukkah present, so there is that motivation.

Indeed. I think I can still activate the phone for her, but she won't be able to keep her old phone number. Cross your fingers for me.

Sounds like a good end of day activity. I'm sure the person it's for will be delighted.

Fingers crossed!

Thanks!

Oh jeez, good luck with phone shenanigans.
