Daily Check-in Post 1st March 2021

[pensnest]

Hello everyone, and welcome to the regular daily check-in post, for this week hosted by me, pensnest. 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: How/why did you take up your craft? (Answer for as many crafts as you like!)

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 post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

Crafting has always been the joy of making things. I really don't remember when I went down that slippery slope, but I have a very early memory of my Granny teaching me some needlework and even though I was small, I made something nice and it was enough to discover the wonder of starting a projects with bits of things and ending up with a finished product.

Grannies are very useful that way! I don't remember when I learned to knit, but I do remember my Grandma showing me how to carry the yarn across the back in order to change colours.

I never had a granny like that, but my mum taught me the basics of a lot of things - sewing, knitting, crochet... I taught myself other crafts.
