Check-In Post November 15th 2020

Hello to all members, and welcome to our first 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.


So, for our first question: What was the last project you completed?


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!

Hee, I'm very excited to see this up and running! I know it's not the 15th anymore, but I started a new scarf (christmas/snow themed, a very simple stranded colourwork design) late last week so I've just been plugging away at that.

Oh and my last project completed were October's fuzzy fingerless mittens, and they've come together nicely :D

Yay! I wanted to give members time to introduce themselves before the check-ins started, in the hope that there'd be enough members to participate. It seems to have worked so far, there's been much chatting on this post and I just put today's up. This time I left my check-in comment on the correct post. >.<

Oooh, the scarf sounds lovely, and yay for finishing your mittens! Are they for yourself or a gift?

They're for me! I've had two international moves in four years and both were done entirely with just what we could pack into suitcases, so there's loads of cold weather accessory gaps that need filling in both mine and my wife's wardrobes. I am already deathly sick of knitting scarves at this point hahaha, but also sick of having only one decent scarf/hat/mittens/and so on which is where we were at when I picked my needles back up this year.

*laughs* Scarves wouldn't be the most exciting of projects. Perhaps after the current one you could make something else, maybe a hat?

You deserved your mittens after all the effort you put in!

I'm going sweater mad even though I have a lot. I just love making them and they're so snuggly in cold weather.
