Check-In Post - May 13th 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!

Well, I ran into a snag with Alphi. The way I have the pattern written, you do K2togs for neck decreases. My yarn wasn’t cooperating though, so I decided to do SSKs instead, but then I realized that the SSKs wouldn’t stack properly. Rip and redo! The tension got all messed up from ripping back and I’ll need to redistribute the yarn some because right now, one side of his face has some loose stitches and looks sloppy. But I’ve finished the neck decreases! So next step is shoulders, which I am probably going to start in a few minutes.

Ah, how annoying for you! Good luck redistributing the yarn to tighten the loose stitches. You're making great progress despite uncooperative yarn!

Sorry you had to frog some work, but kudos to you for figuring out how to fix the problem!
