Check-In Post - May 7th 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!

I've done the ribbed part and a few centimeters on my bérêt and then I had to stop, I'll be out of coloured wool too soon--I had this multicoloured yarn wih built-in stripes in blue, purple, lilac, grey and off-white and I've completed it with some bright white yarn, I only have left tiny bits of too bright blue and dark purple I won't use, one lilac stripe and three grey & white stripes but I was hoping to save maybe two grey stripes for the ends of a scarf and too much bright-white won't do in that bérêt so I'll have to buy off-white yarn but today is a bank holiday so the shop's probably closed and I can't...
Luckily I still have a scarf project I can keep on knitting until tomorrow.

Hope you manage to get suitable yarn to finish your beret soon.

Good that you still have your scarf to work on!
