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!

Honestly, I can't guarantee I won't make that mistake again, although I'm sure I'll try harder to remember the names of colorways in future. In this case I bought the skein of the wrong colorway later when I realized I'd need more yarn than I originally bought, which certainly didn't help!

In any case, I'm planning to make a hat out of the odd skein, and I'm glad it wasn't a dyelot difference, which would actually be more of a problem than a colorway difference, since it shouldn't be a problem to get more of the original colorway.

Very true, when dyelots don't match it's a disaster so at least this was a relatively simple fix.

A hat sounds like a great idea.
