Check-In Post - December 26th 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: No question, but HAPPY HOLIDAYS!


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!

Coloured in a few more toppers, but it's losing its appeal. The first few were fun, but there are only so many colours that can be used for the various parts of each picture. They're also very small, anywhere between 2.5 and 3 inches across, which makes the colouring fiddly. Still, I've coloured 7 out of the 12 I photographed.


Also knitted 10 rows on an arm warmer while watching strong men lift ridiculous weights =D

I could see losing interest given the colors. Are you planning to finish them?

Snickered at the second part.

I will, at some point, Maybe not all at once, but I can colour one in whenever I feel like it.

It's an insane sport, but gotta admit I always love watching every Christmas. I swear, some of these guys have biceps wider than my skinny little body! It's mind boggling, they could lift me with one finger!

I can understand why it's losing its appeal. Small, repetitive tasks tend to do that. Still, you've made good progress, and you can always take a break and do something else.

Very true, and some of the designs are less tedious to colour than others. I'll continue to do one occasionally, when I need something relatively mindless.

Mindless is nice sometimes!

[badly_knitted]

It can be. My mind likes being busy though.
