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: We all make mistakes - what's your most memorable crafting disaster?


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!

Well, it was a good idea to try that with the fabric for the pillow back. Hope the crocheting the back goes better!

At almost 42 hours of crafting done this month, I can see why you're feeling exhausted. The niece's blanket has a deadline, right? That's not very nice of your mother to react like that. :-/ I am sending you best wishes for the blanket and for the pillow, too! I have only ever crocheted small projects and never done any blanket in any kind of way ever because large projects intimidate me. So I think it is cool that you took on this blanket project and I am sure you can get it done! I'm going to look forward to your updates and am going to keep cheering you on as I see them. :-)
