Check-In Post - September 18th 2024

[badly_knitted]

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!

first time posting in here, hello ^u^

i've recently started on a crochet tapestry and I've been making good progress, it's gonna be 150x150 single crochets and a bit under 4 feet long once it's done! i made the design myself, based off the popular porcelain pattern Willow Blue (because I will find any way to combine my special interests, lol)

i'm also switching back and forth between some knit projects as well, a chunky tote bag hopefully for carrying projects around and a simple tank top based off one i recently finished. rest assured the only reason I'm making so much progress with my projects is that I'm putting off important tasks right now hehe

Hello and welcome!

That crochet tapestry sounds like a brilliant idea! And I like the pattern idea. After all, if it's something you know you like, that makes the project even more interesting and fun! Will it be a wall hanging when it's done?

Crafting is a great way to procrastinate and avoid things we should be doing. I'm sure the bag will prove useful. It's fun when you can base an idea on something you've already made. You can be sure it will fit right. Good luck with all your projects!

honestly I'm not sure yet if I wanna hang it up or just use it as a throw blanket once it's done lol, I guess it'll depend on if I can find dowels long enough to fit it once it's fully complete

thank u!

Keep your options open until it's done. Then you can decide what will work best. Either way, it should look great!
