Hello to all members, 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: What was the first thing you remember making?


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 can remember sewing my cookery apron at school - we had to make them in needlework one year, ready for cookery the following year. It took me two terms, when everyone else only took one term!

I've just knitted the rib for the second sleeve of my granddaughter's jumper. I've also realised I did 6 rows rib instead of 4 for the first sleeve, but it's too late now, so I've done 6 again. I don't think it'll make much difference.

You sound like me! We had to make cookery aprons in needlework too, but every time I touched a sewing machine it stopped working so it took me forever to get mine done. I don't remember for sure, it was a long time ago, but it's possible mum had to finish mine at home just to get it done.

Two extra rib rows shouldn't make any difference at all. I often do extra rib on sleeves for myself anyway, and it doesn't affect the pattern, but then I have slightly longer than average and also very thin arms, and I like a good rib to keep my wrists snug. At least you realised in time to make both sleeves match!
