Check-In Post - September 9th 2024

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: What piece of advice would you give someone interested in trying your favourite craft?


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!

Congrats on the envelopes, that's very cool!

Personally I would get both, if affordable. I'd be worried about it being discontinued, too.

Thank you for chiming in, much appreciated!

Yeah, I asked two more textile crafters today and they both said get both yarns, hehe. The vote is now heavily in favour of getting both.

But there is now an ongoing conversation in another reply to my initial comment about both yarns being 100% cotton and whether they are even suitable for a cardigan. If you have an opinion on that, I would love to know *waves*

I'm honestly such a beginner I have no knowledge or opinions on the subject to impart! I've been trying to avoid acrylic yarn for microplastics but maybe going 100% cotton on my beach cover-up was part of the reason it didn't work out. Personally I'd still pick up both yarns and see if I can't find another use for them if not the cardigan. But this is how stashes start, lol.
