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 have made two of Petal A, one of Petal D, and one leaf so far for the Poinsettia. I think I'm going to take a break from that and knit on my hoodie for a bit. Might do more poinsettia-ing later, might not, we'll see.

Sounds like your doing well! How many parts are needed for a complete poinsettia plant?

Good luck with the hoodie, I hope this one works out.

Petal A - 5 pieces (2 done)
Petal B - 5 pieces
Petal C - 3 pieces
Petal D - 3 pieces (1 done)
Leaves - as many as you want; 5-7 suggested

That's all the parts that need crocheting. There's some assembly to the other parts, and then putting the whole thing together, of course. I'm hoping to finish the crocheting part by the 20th, so I can take the pieces to Stitch Club and put it together there. I know they'd LOVE to see it!

That's a lot of pieces, but it sounds brilliant. I hope the parts are all ready in time for Stitch Club.

Good luck with it. A break is always good.
