Check-In Post December 4th 2023



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!

Both blankets will be striped chevron. The first one will be dark red/purple ("currant"), black, silver, white. Basically, it's the parents' wedding colors--very striking and gender neutral.

Still debating on the other one, no clear and obvious palette inspiration for them yet.

To answer your question about knee-high socks. When I was in the US Sock Dreams was my go-to and I've missed them. But not finding anything really exciting me in the UK while searching today, I went to Sock Dreams and they now cover shipping to the UK (including precollecting VAT) so I'm going to try them unless the shipping ends up being horrendous.
