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'm working on a sock. It's cuff down and I am at the decreases for the toe box, just really in finisher's dread at the moment. I only have a few more rows to go (and I am genuinely excited to start on its mate).

I've decided I want to have socks with the same pattern, but different skeins of yarn, so a matching pair of socks doesn't truly match.

That sounds like a brilliantly quirky idea for socks. What colour is the sock you're making now?

Also, welcome to the community, delighted you found us! We have quite a few sock knitters around.

It's a self-striping Felci yarn from KnitPicks! The yarn goes from yellow to orange-yellow to orange to pink to purple and back to yellow. It was purchased in either 2021 or 2022. I unfortunately lost the paper it came with, so I have no idea what the marketing name for the yarn is (I would name it "Summer Sunset" if I were in charge of such things).

That is gorgeous yarn! Summer Sunset would be an apt name.

Well done! I would love to try Nahlbinding some socks, but knitting on the whole terrifies me. Socks don't really need to match anyway. Toddlers especially know that.
