Happy New Year!

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.


This Week's Question: Do you have any crafting resolutions for 2024?


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!

Last night I finished knitting the year's final arm warmer. Still got several pairs to sew up, which I hope to get done over the coming weeks, but I'm starting my sweater now. So far I've cast on the back and ribbed 2 rows.


My crafting goals this year:
Knit at least one sweater.
Finish the arm warmers that have been knitted.
Sew up the last sweater I made because it's been lurking unfinished since early last year, or possibly late the year before that o_O
Make some small felt toys for Halloween.
Maybe make some simple Christmas cards.
Do at least one cross stitch project. I have one picked out that I want to stitch for a friend.
