Check-In Post December 17th 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.


Special Announcement! Starting tomorrow, falkner will be our host for the week!


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!

Started knitting the little blanket for my cat yesterday. It shouldn't take too long but it's too big for my needles so my hands cramp and I can't work on it for too long at a time. Hopefully my floofer likes it!

I'm sure kitty will love it!

Too big for needles... do you mean too many stitches to fit comfortably? Yeah, that can be annoying. It's one of the reasons I mostly use circular needles these days.

I always use circulars, but this yarn is bigger than what I usually use by a lot, and I didn't want to splurge on circulars for one project... so I got some crappy straight needles and they are kind short. I miss circulars!

[badly_knitted]

I'm sure she will. Just don't hurt your hands making it!

[spacedogfromspace]

I will try!

Since she liked the other blanket so much, only fair she gets one of her own. :)

Yes, I think she will like her cat sized one! I forgot that she is a large girl so I think I need to buy a second skein of yarn xD
