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!

Today, I learned it is infact possible to shove 189 stitches onto my stubby size 7 knitting needles. You shouldn't, but you can. Today, I knitted the bag shoulder strap and the closure loop. The strap was a tiny bit of a nightmare, but I made it work - with force and my bruised fingers may never forgive me. I might have to make another closure loop when it comes time to sew everything together. It just looks too short.

I also did a bunch of fiddly work on the altered book.

That must have been a huge effort, kudos for succeeding but I'm not surprised your fingers aren't happy!
