Check-In Post - October 15th 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: Have you ever made something and then had no idea what to do with it?


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!

Am on my phone so a quick update: did 20 min of mending today, mended my old duvet cover and then put it on. I am not confident it is going to hold up for long but at least I tried.

List of my Saturday purchases hopefully coming soon. My extra cardigan yarn also came in today along with a book on crocheting socks. The yarn is the same lot as the earlier purchases just like I asked for, yay! Plan B would have been to make the cardigan slightly smaller and crochet a border with the second purchase. I realised I should have gotten enough yarn for some wiggle room. Hopefully it is enough now.

That's good news about the yarn. Hopefully it will be indeed enough. And mending is important, too. My to-mend pile will soon dwarf the Mount Everest (which is another reason not to start it because it appears hopeless anyway).

Looking forward to your Saturday purchases list. I so love reading about pretty craft supplies. Can we hope for a photo taken, too?

Even a temporary repair is better than nothing.

Yay for managing to get more yarn of the same lot! Dye lots don't seem to vary as much these days as they used to, but it's still better if you can get the same lot. If you have any left over from your cardigan, you can always make matching socks now you have the book =D
