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 made some progress on my sock. I'm at about 4 inches now.

I also wore my new bralette. It's very comfortable both as a top at home and as an underlayer out of the house. The straps are a little long but not very bothersome.

I went out and gave my bag of yarn & needles away today since the group was at the community garden. I also got lots of cherry tomatoes and basil plus a few sweet peppers. :)

Well done on your progress, and glad to hear the bralette was a success! Also hooray for bonus produce :D

Thanks! I'm very happy with it & I'm planning on making another. 😁

Excellent! Especially pleased that your bralette is comfortable. Maybe you can find some decorative way of adjusting the straps, pretty pins or buckles.

Sounds like an excellent haul of goodies, and I'm sure the group appreciated your donation.

Thanks for the idea of decoratively adjusting the straps. I have some pins that may work for that. It depends on it they bother me more then the existing straps do.

I was very happy with my donation. The person who I chatted with after passing off my goody bag used to own a small yarn business so I chatted with him for a few minutes happily. I feel confident they will go to good use.

You're welcome =)

It's always fun finding someone interesting to chat with, and knowing your donation will be used.
