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!

The last couple days, I've been cleaning and stress knitting. The drop stitch shawl is at a place where I should be thinking about casting off. The yarn I've been using for it was a partial skein of mystery yarn with no label that made its way through at least 3 people before I got it. However, I am 99.9% sure I've identified it and my mother found, but did not buy, another skein of it.

The problem being it was three days before the store that carried it downsized their yarn section and moved it to electronics. If I can buy a second skein of the yarn, I want to keep going with the shawl until I've reached the limits of my needles. If I can't, I will cast off, as it is at the size the pattern recommends.

I hope you can get another skein and make your shawl bigger. Everyone needs something to help deal with stress. I usually read, but I'm finding even that difficult to concentrate on at present.

Thanks. This is very true. Ah. That is an issue I am all to familiar with. I have found white noise can help, but that is a "your milage may very' kind of a thing.

Good luck with finding another skein!
