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: No question this week.


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!

Posting at a more reasonable time tonight. Still exhausted from yesterday, and so sore. I love Halloween, but putting everything up then taking it down again takes forever.


I have finished knitting the second arm warmer, but I haven't cast off yet. Also picked out the colour for the next pair so I have something simple to work on during Strictly.


Last night I ran out of pumpkins so I'll have to get more knitted ready for next year. I was able to hand the completed arm warmers to neighbour and neighbour's daughter when they came round to see my display, however. They were both delighted =D I'll miss them when they move.

Losing friendly neighbours is a sad thing. You never know who will move in instead of them. At least they were happy with your work.

Allow yourself a break after such a hard day. You've deserved it.

Very true. Always been lucky with neighbours that side, with one exception. I'm curious to know who will move in. Got lucky with the house on the other side after my long-time neighbour passed a few years ago. Lovely young couple there now, and his mother is also very nice. She's about my age, maybe a couple years older. Very tall, but so is her son, he's like 6 feet 7 tall. But such a nice guy the height isn't intimidating for little 5 foot me.

I still have my spook_me fic to finish, got another chapter sorted and posted but I didn't have the brain to work on it beyond that. I hurt all over, but I still made myself do my physio exercises. I've been very good. I stiffen up every time I sit down, but I can't stand for long either because my feet hurt.

That is a lot.

I hear you on the Halloween set up and take down. I'm convinced our neighbors that do the haunted house every year must secretly have magic elves helping them or something.

Well done on the arm warmers.

That's wonderful your neighbors liked their arms warmers. It's a shame to lose good neighbors.

[badly_knitted]

It really was. I still hurt all over.

I wish I had magic elves, lol!

Thank you! It really is. I hope the new neighbours will be as nice.

[spiralicious]

I hope you are feeling at least a bit better.

Magic elves would be so helpful.

Fingers crossed

Still a bit sore in places, but improving.

[spiralicious]

That's good.
