Check-In Post - October 12th 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!

Project tote is on hold bc I'm out of the solid color I started with -- the order with the next color actually came in, but I haven't opened it up yet bc an out-of-town cousin and I ordered from the same sale and were planning to have an unboxing party Zoom call, and she just popped into the hospital for a couple days (nothing tooooo bad fortunately, she got back out today) so holding off on that until she feels up to it.

Meanwhile, working on the corner-to-corner cardigan, and it is taking foreeeeeever LOL

I hope your cousin feels up to the Zoom party soon so you can both enjoy your purchases and you can get back to working on your tote.

Good luck with the corner to corner cardigan!

Thank you!

It's my own fault it's taking forever, of course -- what did I expect from attempting plus-size wearables out of yarn consistent with a 3.5mm hook?

>.< Yes, I'm not surprised it's a bit slow going. But you will get it done. *cheers you on*

Unboxing call sounds fun!
