Check-In Post May 8th 2023

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!

Aside from some writing and reading of fanfic, I've done damn all today. Well, there were chores but they don't count.


The weather's been wet and miserable, also chilly, and I didn't feel up to doing much of anything so I opted for being lazy.

Sometimes being lazy is good for the soul. :)

I haven't been sleeping well lately so that's part of it.

[wiseheart]

That's really bad. Proper sleep is very important.

[badly_knitted]

It is, but I never get enough.

[celli]

I support taking care of yourself!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks. Self care is very important.

I've more or less finished the textile book and the Nisser. Copious picspam can be viewed here. I think I'll take a break tomorrow; too many chores.

[badly_knitted]

Your Nisser are so cute, and the little animals are great!

It's not so much of a break when there are chores.

[wiseheart]

There are always chores. I haven't had a proper rest for over two years - ever since Mum's accident.

[badly_knitted]

I was in that boat for years. It's not fun. *hugs*

[celli]

Oh, your finger puppets are so so cute!

[wiseheart]

Thank you so much! :)

I had a long day at work but I have knit a little on my current project, the bralette top.

I have a Dr apt tomorrow so I'll get some time to work on it there. It's in the easy ribbing part so its good take along knitting.

Waiting rooms are great places to get in a little extra crafting time.
