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!

sequin bag

[house_wren]

I'm trying to figure out how to post a photo, so if you can see one, hurrah!

I have checked the preview & I see a photo! But it is tiny. Any advice for how to post a larger picture is gratefully received.

The photo is of a crocheted bag I made during lockdown. I was remembering the fad in the 1960s for crocheted wool hats featuring loops & large sequins. I still want to try to make such a hat, but I must wait for my enthusiasm to match my supplies & my hand health.

I can see it perfectly when I click on it, though, and it's lovely!!!

Oh! Thanks for telling me! Didn't realize a click would enlarge it. Nice.
& thanks also for the encouraging 'lovely!'

I can see it! It's wonderful :)

Yes, I see it! And it doesn't need to be larger, it's perfect as it is because it's a thumbnail image. Viewers click the image and get a larger version. Try it and see.

It looks splendid, very 1960s retro. I hope you do get to make a matching hat. Who knows, you might start a retro revival!

It is lovely! And very well visible if one clicks on the photo.
