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 hope everyone is having a better month than I have. I haven't been around lately because my mom has been in the hospital most of this month. She's getting excellent care but it's been A Lot, especially since we lost my dad earlier this year. 2023 is SO fired!

I still am crafting, but on easy things. I finished my Stephen West shawl (one of his more simpler patterns: Glacier Sweep) and now I'm working on a dead easy garter stitch crescent shawl. Because all I am doing is sitting around hospitals, and there's only so much of staring at Mom I can do.

*hugs* So sorry for your earlier loss, and my thoughts are with you and your mom.

Well done on finishing one shawl despite everything, and starting another. Having something to do with your hands helps when sitting around in hospitals

*hugs* Sorry things are a lot right now and sorry for your loss earlier in the year.

Well done on the shawls. Sometimes you really need something to keep your hands busy.

I'm so sorry for your bad news! *prayers/good thoughts (whichever you prefer) go to your Mum*
Small, easy things can be very helpful in situations like this. While your hands are working, your mind can rest, and that is very important.
