Check-In Post - May 6th 2025

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: Do you change crafts with the season or stick to the same crafts year round?


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!

That whole thread mixup would super stress me out for reals too. Glad you could get it sorted! Also yes, being able to cross off what you’re already done is super helpful in lots of crafting.

Way to go on your caterpillar hunt! You continue to slay. Literally and figuratively.

Do you have a tablet you could load the pattern onto? Often you can mark up a pdf and that’ll save you a trip to the library.

I have anxiety, and the unexpected tends to send me spiralling into panic attacks, so that was NOT fun. Kudos to the people at the magazine getting back to me so quickly and so helpfully.

Thank you! I was surprised I git so many today, at the cost of being poked and scratched by gooseberry thorns.

Unfortunately I don't, and I'm really bad with tech anyway. It's a miracle I can use a laptop =/
