Check-In Post December 7th 2023

[badly_knitted]

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!

Today I’ve made pattern weights for sewing <3 (I’ve just joined this community/DW in general, thanks for having me!)

[badly_knitted]

You are very welcome! Hope you'll enjoy hanging out with us, we're here every day, around this time.

Oooh, how exactly do you make a pattern weight? I've never heard of those (then again, I don't sew, so that's probably why *grins*)

Thanks so much! It’s already fantastic.

It was actually pretty simple, I followed a video I saw on instagram :3 I’m still getting used to things here and I’m not sure if I’m allowed to include a link? But if I am I’m happy to share it.

I might post a photo of them on my page, it would be my first post on dreamwidth!

Yes, all links are welcome so other members can take a look at anything of interest =)

Also, feel free to reply to other members' comments. We're all happy to chat.

Members can also make their own posts on the community, although very few seem to do that, which is sad. There are a few member introduction posts, but it never quite seemed to catch on. No idea why. I should probably do some posts myself, I just never seem to find the time.

Yay for first posts! Mine was so long ago now it's lost in the mists of time. I've been on dreamwidth for a lot of years, and I'm still learning how to do stuff. If you get stuck with anything site related, you can ask here, just leave a comment on the latest check-in and someone will be able to help. We don't just talk about crafts.

Yay!! This is the ‘how to’ video I used for the pattern weights: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0PYznKOZsh/?igshid=N2ViNmM2MDRjNw==

Thank you, I’ll have to have a lookie around🥰 I will try to post some things to the community as well.

I appreciate that, thanks so much!

[badly_knitted]

That's great, thanks! It could even be done with hand sewing.

Yay! All posts welcome, it might encourage some of the other members. The more you interact with members, the faster you'll settle in, but people are free to drop in and out as their lives allow. We all know life can get in the way of crafting.

You’re welcome! It definitely could <3 & I will keep that in mind🥰
