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: Which craft that you don't already do would you most like to try?


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 hope I've clicked on the right post. My internet has been very spotty the last week and a half and now we have quite the winter storm going. Fun times.

Today, I started knitting on the hat again after an extended break. I had hurt my wrist and hadn't a clue how. To top it of, it would feel fine one moment, then feel like I'd broke it the next, and I couldn't figure out how I was aggravating it. I thought it best to just not knit until I either figured out what was wrong or it stopped. It seems to have stopped.

I also did a little prep work for crafting with Lynne in the morning. I've learned a lot the last couple sessions about what works and what doesn't: it needs to be a card, there must be step by step instructions, we need to be working on nearly identical products, prep cannot take more than 15 minutes, and she gets mad if there is no photo for her to copy (not sure what to do about that one as I am making these up in my head). Cross your fingers for our bunny peeps cards.

Ouch! Wrists can be a literal pain. Glad it's feeling better and you're managing to knit.

Good luck with the cards, keeping everything crossed that the session goes smoothly.

Thanks. It was beginning to feel odd not knitting XD

Thanks. I think things went about as smoothly as they could. Even with the hiccups we did have, we still finished an hour earlier than I expected.

Yeah, knitting can be addictive.

That's good!

Good luck with the cards; I'm impressed by the lengths you are willing to go for your friend. *hugs*
I hope your wrist will heal, soon; until then being careful is important.

*hugs* Thanks. Keeping her active at things is important.

Thank you. I just wish I knew what I'd done to it. It does seem fine now, but I haven't been in the car the last few days and something I do when I get in seems to trigger it, so I can't be sure.
