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!

Oooh, thank you for contributing your opinion! I have a ton of craft paper and stationery supplies already but there is space in the wardrobe and the budget for getting both yarns, hehe.

There is now an ongoing conversation in another reply to my initial comment about the suitability of 100% cotton yarn for cardigans. As both yarns are 100% cotton, in fact. So if you have any opinion or experience with crocheting clothes with 100% cotton, I would love to know *waves*

I've never worked with cotton yarn because I find it stiff, cold, and heavy, so I don't think I'm the best person to advise on whether or not it would be suitable. I'd listen to those who have experience, they'll know best.
